WHEN WILL YOU
“WRITE OFF”

YOUR OFFICE
CHAIRS 2? + +

ERE’S a permanent asset that means perma-
nent comfort.

An office chair, welded into one piece from a
metal of marvelous lightness and strength.

A chair that is built to properly distribute the
weight of the body. Built on exceedingly graceful
lines, beautifully upholstered and exquisitely fin-
ished. Built to last.

* * * *
Isn’t that old chair in which you spend your work-
ing hours becoming a liability? Isn’t its once smooth
surface roughened and marred by splinters that
catch and rasp the clothing? Don’t its squeaking
joints and dowels rasp the nerves... and induce
“four o’clock fatigue?”

Write it off... and replace it, once and for all,
with a chair that keeps its quiet comfort through
the years. A chair of welded one-piece Aluminum
—light, strong, durable, efficient.

Aluminum Office Chairs are furnished in a variety
of beautiful natural wood finishes or in baked
enamel colors to harmonize with any scheme of
office decoration.

Ask your secretary to write for the booklet,“Dis-
tinctive Aluminum Furniture for the Office.” Every
executive and office manager should have acopy of it.

EXTRA MONEY,

from WRITING

An answer to your question:
«What chance have I to make
my writing ability pay?”

T would not be against the law to print “‘Bea
writer—writers earn big money’”’ at the top
of this advertisement. We refrained from

using this ‘‘inspirational’’ headline for three
reasons:

First, because this advertisement is appearing

in Time. The average reader of Time is not look-
ing for courses that will teach him to write in
six weeks and make him wealthy in six months.

Second, because we aren't selling that type of

course. N. I. A. instruction is for adult-minded
people—for men and women who have sufficient
moral courage and ambition to subject them-
selves to a real course of disciplinary training.

Third, because the “big money’’ promises give

a totally false picture of the literary opportunity.
True, a few top-notch writers are in the mil-
lionaire class. But those top-notchers did not
become famous overnight. Their first checks

were for $25, $50 and $100—for short stories,
short articles on current topics, humorous con-
tributions—things that they were able to turn
out in their spare time. The smaller—but more
readily attainable—checks should be the im-
mediate objective of the writing aspirant. Don’t
expect that you will be able to support yourself
by writing as soon as you complete your N. I. A.
instruction. But you are entitled to hope for
some tangible returns for your time and money—
and, if you mean business, you'll get them.

The way great writers
learned to write

Today most of our successful authors, drama-
tists, and scenario writers are recruited from the
newspaper profession. Why? Because these men
have learned to write by writing. Writing under
expert criticism from the editors at the copy
desk.

Today you can acquire practical New York
newspaper training right in your own home.
The Newspaper Institute of America (an or-
ganization of newspaper men approved as a
correspondence school under the laws of the
Stateof New York) brings New York copy desk
methods within your easy reach. Week by week,
you are given actual assignments—iust as if you
were being broken in on a great metropolitan
daily. Your work is individually edited and
constructively corrected by a group of men with
182 years of newspaper experience back of them.
Academic methods and tiresome technicalities

have been discarded. You learn to write by
writing.

How you start

We have prepared a unique Writing Aptitude
Test, which tells whether you possess the funda-
mental qualities necessary to successful writing
—acute observation, dramatic instinct, creative
imagination, etc. You’ llenjoy this test. Sendinthe
coupon; there’s no obligation. Newspaper Insti-

Mr. Venizelos? I am a Royalist, and I am proud
ot it. I will fight for the Royalist flag any old

“Poisonal
Sirs: : é

On the evening of Governor Smith’s accept-
ance speech the static was bad. I turned off
the radio.

But I was not to be spared. Fully three
weeks afterward the Movietone presented the
scene. I’m prejudiced, I'll admit—but I am only
one of a great many who carried away one last-
ing impression of Governor Smith’s speech—an
impression that, without really proving anything,
seems to epitomize the whole democratic plat-
form, its ticket, its votaries:

“Poisonal, Detoimined”

1 verily believe I would not have been sur-
prised if he had continued: “Ain’t it de trut’—
w’at I’m tellin’ youse?”

The giggle that floated about the theatre—
up here in this normally Smith section—at the
first evidence of this “New Yorkese’ was
(thought prejudiced I) significant... .

Bigot Flayed
Sirs:

Can it be that Puritan R. J. Wilson is related
to Dr. Clarence True Wilson? His denunciation
of Raskob; his innate knowledge of the affairs
of the pope, faithfully reflects the well estab-
lished attitude of all intolerant protestant Chris-
tians, contributors to Dr. Wilson’s cause... .

Let the bigot read the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Let him review the Harding and
Coolidge administrations for evidence of “buy-
ing presidencies.” Let him also ask Elihu Root
and Chas. Evans Hughes, Republican leaders, for
their opinions on the fitness of Al Smith as a
governmental executive, and their opinions on
his loyalty to the United States. ...

Motherly Concern
Sirs: ,
I feel the impulse strong upon me to write

Detroit, Mich.

once more to the publication which I “adopted”
in its infancy, or at least in its young childhood
(1923). (See Time, Jan. 11, 1926, LETTERs.)

I hawe watched your progress with true
motherly concern, Exulting in your growing
prestige, proud of the typographical beauty of
each edition, proud of your accuracy, your wit,
your charming diction, and most of all your
abounding knowledge of all things worth while
(your footnotes alone if compiled would make
a valuable reference volume), proud of your
sportsmanship in gracefully acknowledging an
error, or manfully standing by your guns when
you know you are right and can prove it.

Once in a while I wince when you introduce
a word like “gob” or descend to the level of
a Heflin in exchanging common and coarse
banalities.

Your condensed biographies are gems. Note
“The Beaver Man” and others—your article on
“The Boys” (Aug. 27) is especially entertaining.
Now when we read their reports we can also
think of their backgrounds. By the way, a
question regarding Richardson, uncle of Pundit
Kent—

When I was a little girl (a long time ago)
Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune was an
oracle in my home. I remember just how it
looked, closely printed in quite small type and
no headlines—except once. I do not remember
the date exactly, but near the close of the Civil
War, it came out in heavy black lines clear
across the top:

“Knoxville, Tenn.,—186?.
OUT OF THE JAWS OF DEATH!
OUT OF THE MOUTH OF HELL!
: —Richardson.”’

Richardson, the Tribune reporter, had been
missing and mourned for dead for some time,
but had a most wonderful and almost miraculous
escape from Libby Prison, which was described
in the Tribune.

_Could it be (or is it chronologically impos-
sible) that this might have been the uncle
(Frank Richardson) of Pundit Kent?

Here is another request. Will you please tell
us the hours of your “Newscasting” over the
radio? I have not been able to find out.

Probably you will think this letter too lengthy
or too prolix—that is a fault of old ladies.

(Mrs. J. H.) Louise L. PHILiips
North East, Pa,

Pundit Kent has an uncle who was in
prison during the Civil War in Fort Dela-
ware, not Libby.

».. and SAVE MONEY at the same time

OU can easily identify yourself with

7 that enviable group of people who have
important books and authors always at

their tongues’ ends. They don’t exactly “‘en-
thrall the entire dinner party,"’ or “‘hold their
listeners spellbound’’as the ads say, but they
seem to have some secret method of keeping in

constant touch with the latest and best books.

You respect them; don’t you? You wonder
how they find time to read the best new books
when you are too busy to even /ook for them.
The seven books pictured above were brought to
your attention by friends who had read them.
Finally, when the books had been talked
about and written about and reviewed and
praised by magazines and newspapers all over
the country—you finally read one or two of
them in self defense. And you enjoyed them!

Send for
WINGS
Free

Everyone enjoyed them. They are the cream of
the past publishing year.

On the same day that each of those books was
delivered to the bookstores, the members of
The Literary Guild of America received a special
edition of the same title through the mail,
postpaid, at their homes. They did not have
to wait for anyone to tell them how good
those books were, the Editorial Board at the
Guild had learned that months before. Instead

of waiting for best sellers to attract them by

their fame, Guild members have them delivered *

automatically while they are new.

There is an undeniable thrill that comes with
being an insider—especially in artistic fields.
There is prestige and distinction for the man
or woman who knows beforehand what books
will later attain widespread success. In addi-
tion to the many cultural advantages of mem-
bership, there is a substantial economy to be
had through the Guild plan. The twelve Guild
books are delivered to you—one each month
—for a single annual subscription fee which
is a great deal less than the same books
would cost if purchased in any other way.

Memberships Are Free in the
Literary Guild

The many advantages of membership, the
prestige of being associated with such a work,
the actual cash saving on the price of new
books, and all other privileges create the im-
pression that the Guild is limited to wealthy
patrons only. THIS IS NOT THE CASE!

Membership in The Literary Guild is absolutely
free. You can join today and begin at once to

realize a considerable saving in actual cash on
one of the leading books published each month
in America.

The Price Is Soon To Be
Advanced

To maintain the high standard of quality in
both contents and format of Guild selections,
it has been found necessary to raise the annual
subscription fee slightly. This price advance does
NOT take effect at once! You can still join the
Guild and enjoy the maximum saving that has
been given members from the start. You can
start your subscription with any of the previ-
ous Guild books you wish, choosing any book
illustrated above that you have missed.

Sirs:

I listened in on your Newscasting program last
night. It struck me that you are breaking your
neck trying to please the radio masses. T1ME’s
style, Time’s whole refreshing attitude is not
suited to this. Trme gives its readers many
things which they do not want, many things
which actually displease them; but Time does
it so cleverly that they read it and like it. In
your Newscasting you fawn before the masses
and sound ridiculous; hence, your Newscasting

Ship News
Sirs:

Time readers, whose interests extend beyond
the railroad depot, often travel upon the ocean.
Aboard ship they are deprived of that pleasure of
opening a crisp copy of Time on the day that
they know their fellow subscribers and news-
stand buyers are getting theirs. For their knowl-
edge of world events they must depend upon a
typewritten sheet printed each night by the radio
operator, posted in a prominent place the fol-
lowing morning.

If one were to analyse the content of these
broadcasts he might obtain such statistics as
the following:

o—-_
Y

Local San Francisco news......... snes
Sensational crimes and accidents.....25%
Hollywood gossip, divorces and such. .20%

NEWS OF ENOUGH IMPORTANCE
TO MATTER WHEN ONE HAS RE-
TURNED BOOM. 2 60s o00s 0 0s0% 04 15%

I am a radio operator and have been copying
such broadcasts off and on for the past five
years. It is tabloid stuff, selected with appar-
ently no thought of the field it is to reach. A
man at sea is merely bored to read the bald
statement that “1 dies, 3 injured in crash at
Little Rock”; yet when the service is gratis one
scarcely can complain. It is my hope, therefore,
that Trme and this station can cooperate in
furnishing a high-class news broadcast to ships

; at sea.

ANOTHER
BARGAIN STOCK

Many people think most stocks are too high and that there are no
bargains, but we have lately found several for our clients. Now
we are recommending the purchase of a stock which:

Would need to sell 100 points higher to discount fully the
near-term outlook—

Is in line for a stock split-up in the next few months and val-
uable rights at a later date—

This year may earn over 13 times as much as in 1927—after

bookkeeping write-offs almost as large as reported earnings—

Probably will increase its dividend soon—
Has unusually small capitalization which is likely to cause a
sharp run-up in price as earnings improve—

Is a leader in its field and one of the soundest and best
managed companies in America.

Obviously, this stock should be bought now—for a substantial advance.
Most likely it will not long be available at its present price.

The name of this bargain stock will be sent to you free of charge and
without obligation. Also, free specimen copies of all our current Stock
Market Bulletins which fully discuss the profit and loss possibilities in
the following securities:

NATIONAL AFFAIRS

THE PRESIDENCY

World Statesman

There was something impressive about
the return of Calvin Coolidge, sunburned
and filled out after three months on a
small Wisconsin river, to a Washington
full of national politics and governmental
odds and ends. He gave the politics some
attention. He issued some orders in con-
nection with the Budget Bureau’s fore-
cast of a $94,000,000 deficit, chief of the
odds and ends. But the sphere to which
he chiefly applied himself was the grand
one of International Relations. It was as
it he felt he had conquered his own nation
politically and economically and was now,
in his last few months in office, ready to
engage the world, diplomatically; ready to
take his place as a world statesman. The
Hoover campaign and the Deficit would
take care of themselves, his attitude
seemed to say. The Pact of Paris, the
Anglo-French naval agreement, readjust-
ment of Reparations—with such matters
was the Coolidge Era to be concerned at
its close.

President Coolidge, his first day back,
talked with his Secretary of State for
nearly an hour, giving other Cabinet mem-
bers only a few perfunctory moments and
Nominee Hoover about a half-hour. The
Pact of Paris (renouncing war as an in-
strument of national policy) was signed
and in the State safe. It must now be rati-
hed by the Senate. Ratification would be
opposed by friends of the cruiser-building
bill, which was shelved last spring, until
that bill’s passage was assured. How
would the bill be affected by the semi-
secret agreement between England and
France to restrict their armaments of
large submarines and large cruisers? Presi-
dent Coolidge reassured the U. S. Navy’s
friends that any naval reductions France
and England might agree on between them-
selves would be applauded by the U. S. but
would have no effect on U. S. naval policy.
After seeing the President, Secretary Wil-
bur of the Navy felt free to say: “We have
not changed our naval program.”

@ To Zogu I, new-crowned King of Al-
bania, this cable was despatched. “It is
with pleasure that I extend to your
Majesty and to the people of Albania con-
gratulations on the occasion of your ac-
cession to the throne. The American peo-
ple join with me in expressing best wishes
for your Majesty’s good health and happi-
ness and for the prosperity of Albania—
CALVIN COOLIDGE.”

@ President Coolidge announced that no
matter what anyone may say he is going

- to do after March 4, “it is wrong.”

@ President Coolidge appointed Col.

Harry Burgess, U. S. Engineers, to suc-
ceed Brig.-Gen. Meriwether L. Walker as

Governor of the Panama Canal Zone.
@ President Coolidge scanned Red Cross
reports on the Porto Rico-Florida hurri-
cane (see p. 11), and sent orders for the
Army, Navy and Coast Guard to give
help.

@ President Coolidge proclaimed Fire
Prevention Week Oct. 7 to 13.

REPUBLICANS

Votes

Additions to Hooverism included:

Otto Hermann Kahn, Manhattan fin-
ancier. Reason: Nominee Hoover's pre-
eminent fitness is not yet overshadowed
by the Prohibition issue.

Samuel Matthews Vauclain, President
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works (Phila-
delphia). Reason: “Full dinner pail.”

Charles S. Mott, Vice President of Gen-
eral Motors. Reason: “The country’s best
economic and spiritual welfare.”

Alfred Jacques, Duluth Democrat, a sec-
onder of Woodrow Wilson’s nomination
in 1912. Reason: Tammany.

William Ellery Sweet, Denver Dem-
ocrat, onetime (1923-25) Governor of
Colorado. Reason: Prohibition.

President Mary Emma Wooley of
Mount Holyoke College.* Reasons: Law
enforcement, international issues, agra-
rian relief.

Fess’s Best

Senator Simeon D. Fess, baldish Ohioan,
Harding admirer, Hoover Keynoter, spent
time during the week studying and explain-
ing why Hoover would carry New York
State. To the embarrassment of non-
whispering Republicans he also explained:
“This is the first time in history during a
national political campaign that we have
on one side all of the loose element of
morals and on the other the very highest
and best of morals.”

friend of John Coolidge.

Worker Willebrandt

Washington waited to see what Hoover
headquarters would do about one of
Hooverism’s most tireless workers, Mrs.
Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant At-
torney General of the U. S. Already ac-
cused of using her Federal office for politi-
cal ends, she went into Ohio last fortnight
and persuaded a Methodist convention at
Springfield to abandon Methodism’s
traditional non-partisanship and resolve
against Nominee Smith, for Nominee
Hoover.

“Take to your pulpits!” was her cry.
“Preach that message! Rouse your com-
munities! The issue is bigger than party
lines!”

A storm of censure had arisen on both
sides of the party lines. The Republican
New York Evening Post had said: “When
she is permitted to make a stump speech

. She strikes deeply at respect for im-
partiality of law.” Methodists in other
States had flayed their Ohio brethren for
being swept off their feet.

Prohibition, which it is Mrs. Wille-
brandt’s sworn duty and intellectual pas-
sion to help enforce, was of course the sole
burden of the Willebrandt oration to the
Methodists. But she had laid herself open
to Democratic charges of religious incen-
diarism. What would Hooverism. have
said if a Smith supporter, let alone a pub-
lic official, should cry out for an anti-
Hoover uprising of Roman Catholics?

Mrs. Willebrandt’s Ohio speech was
handed out for circulation at the national
Hoover headquarters with the explana-
tion that Hooverism was not officially
responsible for anything Mrs. Willebrandt
might say. Senator Borah, one of Hoover-

- ism’s biggest voices, was invited to address

a Methodist gathering at Peoria, Ill. He
declined. Mrs. Willebrandt’s name was
left off Hooverism’s official list of cam-
paign speeches for the near future and it
was stated that the next Willebrandt
speech would not be distributed from offi-
cial headquarters.

But there was no official repudiation of
“Take to your pulpits!,” a cry which may
well become an historic feature of the
Presidential campaign of 1928. And
there was no visible squelching of Workér
Willebrandt. She promised to appear
and speak again in Ohio, on Sept. 23 at
Lorain. Clear-eyed, evangelical, she said:
“T shall continue .. . as my conscience
dictates!”

A few days after the Ohio Methodists
were Willebrandtized, the Northern Bap-
tist Convention (representing about 1,-
250,000 souls) was told by its officials

Hoover Speech

Lifting up his voice in Newark, N.J.,
Nominee Hoover addressed himself to
Labor, including “the woman who stays
at home as the guardian of the welfare of
the family. She is a partner on the job
and the wages.”

He said: “Behind every job is a vast,
intricate and delicately adjusted system of
interlocked industries dependent upon
skilled leadership.”

He said: “The modern relationships of
government and industry are a tangled
mass of economic and social problems.
They are neither abstract propositions nor
statistics. They are very human things.
They can make for the happiness of every
home in our country.”

He harked back to 1921 when “anxiety
for daily bread haunted nearly one quarter
of our 23 million families.”

He recalled how the Republican admin-
istration called a conference of which he
was chairman; how “within a year we re-
stored . . . five million workers to em-
ployment” and produced stability, pros-
perity. ... This recovery and this sta-
bility are no accident. It has not been
achieved by luck.”

Present depression in the coal and tex-
tile industries were touched on lightly,
explained briefly. Then came a table of
statistics showing how many more pounds
of “that useful mixture,” bread and butter,
the U.S. wage-earner can buy with his
wages than any other wage-earner in the
world.

Nominee Hoover said: “The Republican
administration makes no claim to credit
which belongs to the enterprise, energy
and character of a great people.”

Protective tariff, restricted immigration,
the Commerce Department’s service to
exporters, its fostering of industrial effi-
ciency were next mentioned. Specifically
cited was the reduction “by nearly one-
half” of the seasonal idling period in the
building trades.

The Hoover promise for a billion-dollar
Federal works program “to take up the
slack of occasional unemployment” was
repeated.

There was also repetition of the Hoover
doctrine that efficiency in industry is “the
road to the abolition of poverty.”

The use of injunctions in labor disputes
got two short paragraphs. Such use must
not be “excessive,” said the Nominee.

Conclusion :

“He would be a rash man who would
state that we are finally entering the in-
dustrial millennium, but there is a great
ray of hope that America is finding herself
on the road to a solution of the greatest
of all her problems. That problem is to
adjust our economic system to our racial
ideals.

“At such a time as this a change in
national policies involves not—as some
may lightly think—only a choice between
different roads by either of which we may
go forward, but a question also as to
whether we may not be taking the wrong

road and moving backward. The measure
of our national prosperity, of our stability,
of our hope of further progress at this
time is the measure of what we may risk
through a change in present policies. More
than once in our national history a change
in policies in a time of advancement has
been quickly followed by a turn toward
disaster... .”

In the Midlands
(See front cover)

Nominee Smith, with a formidable col-
lection of advisers and impedimenta, en-
tered the Midwest last week on the first
militant move of his campaign (see Demo-
crats). Missouri’s inflammatory Senator
James A. Reed was about to pass through
to arouse the Northwest. Democratic
money was pouring into Missouri, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, the Da-
kotas. The Brown Derby was out to line
up the 1924 LaFollette vote.

Nominee Hoover, having paid his re-
spects to the Midwest on his return from
Notification (Time, Sept. 3), and having
inspected the work that has been done for
him there, was content to leave the region’s
defense to his Chicago headquarters and
to Nominee Curtis, who set out from
Washington to criss-cross the trails of
Smith and Reed for 5,000 miles. Nominee
Hoover gave his own attention to the East.
Red fire and amplifiers were in readiness
for him at Newark, N. J. His Eastern
managers redoubled their efforts in very
dubious New York and dubious Massachu-
setts.

Dr. Hubert Work, National G. O. P.
Chairman, is charged with Hooverizing all
the land. Under him in the East, definitely
restrained and subordinated, is ebullient
Senator George Higgins Moses of New
Hampshire. At Chicago, Dr. Work’s name
appears in handsome letters in the Hoover
offices at 333 North Michigan Avenue
(20th and 21st floors). But the pink-white-

and-gray man in the office is only formally
subordinate to Dr. Work. After seeing
how ably the Midwestern cornerstone of
his vote was being swung into place and
how carefully the cement was being mixed,
Nominee Hoover gave pink-white-and-
gray James William Good implicit freedom
and full control at Chicago. When Dr.
Work goes to New York he feels free to
issue suggestions and vetoes to Senator
Moses. When he goes to Chicago, as he
did on the eve of the Smith invasion, he
just sits and listens to Mr. Hoover’s Good.

The eleven States of the Midwest with
their 149 electoral votes are to the G. O. P.
what the eleven States of the South, with
124 electors, are to the Democracy. They
are the cornerstone, the bulwark, among
which “bolts” and “splits” and outright
transitions occur far less frequently than
among the eleven Western States, the
eleven Eastern States, the four Border
States.

This year the Midwest loomed more im-
portant than ever because it was through-
out the Midwest that the Hoover nomina-
tion was most bitterly opposed. In Ohio
there was Willis; in Indiana, Watson; in
Illinois, Lowden; in Nebraska, Norris; in
Kansas, Curtis—all, except Lowden and
Curtis, more downright anti-Hooverish
than outright ambitious.

That there would be a scramble in the
midlands over the 1928 nomination was
visible a year ago. Herbert Hoover began
looking around for a Midwestern manager.
It was natural for him to ask James Wil-
liam Good, a onetime (1909-1921) Con-
gressman from Iowa. Secretary Hoover
had known Congressman Good as an able
legislative Committeeman. He came from
Cedar Rapids, near the Hoover birthplacc
(West Branch). Above all, he was the
man who had organized the Midwest for
Calvin Coolidge in the 1924 campaign.

Stories to the effect that James William
Good is one of Mr. Hoover’s “discoveries,”
one of his Bright Young Men, are absurd.
Mr. Hoover was lucky to get him and he
probably owes getting him to Calvin Cool-
idge. After “I do not choose,” Mr. Good
dropped in at the White House one day
and told President Coolidge he again felt
like organizing the Midwest for some
one, perhaps his fellow townsman of
Evanston, Ill., Vice President ‘Charlie’
Dawes. President Coolidge froze. Mr.
Good departed. Later he returned and said
he might organize for Secretary Hoover.
President Coolidge unfroze, said that might

be a good idea.

It is now an old story how “Sir James,”
as he was called during the Anglophobe
phase of the anti-Hoover campaign in the
Midwest, bravely sowed seeds of Hoover-
ism from the Alleghenies to the Ozarks;
how, at and after Kansas City, first the
blade and then the ear, then the whole

Corn Belt appeared, a party united again
in time for the Hoover harvest-home at
West Branch last month.

It was generally predicted that Mr.
Good would be National Chairman. Why
he was not is still a mystery. Perhaps the
explanation is that a shirt-sleeve diplomat
who can harmonize the anti-salooners, dirt-
farmers, public utilitarians, idealists,

Klansmen, social leaders, social climbers,
sound businessmen, magnates, housewives
and mugwumps that comprise the G. O. P.
in the Midwest, would be wasted as a
figurehead at a big shiny desk in Washing-
ton, shaking the hands of ladies and lame
ducks; reading workers’ reports and issu-
ing national propaganda.

The Good office in Chicago is by far the
busiest focus of the Hoover campaign. To
it go all Republican bigwigs on their to’s
and fro’s through the land. To it go all
political pundits and special correspondents
for the most commanding view of the
G. O. P.’s condition throughout the na-
tion. There the Northwest hears what is
being done on the Border and in the South;
the Far West hears about the East; the
Farmer about Wall Street, the cotton-
grower about the New England mills.
There Mr. Good summons or receives
men from leagues around to tell him
things or get orders. His calling list
in the two weeks alone included four
cabinet members (West, J. J. Davis,
Wilbur, Jardine) ; National Committeemen
from North Dakota, Utah, Montana, Col-
orado; the Wisconsin gubernatorial nomi-
nee, Walter Jodok Kohler, and friends;
Theodore Roosevelt the Younger; Nomi-
nee Curtis; Chairman Work. Senator Wat-
son telephones constantly from Indiana.
Senator Brookhart bustles in and out from
Iowa. Senator Deneen of Illinois pokes in,
by letter or in person, to complain that
Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, the party’s
nominee for Congressman-at-large, is be-
ing given undue advantages by the national
organization, advantages that may help her
oust Senator Deneen and take his seat in
1930.

The Good offices resemble those of any
prosperous corporation—walnut furniture
and woodwork, glass partitions, trim
stenographers, pictures of the company’s
products—H oover, Curtis, Coolidge,
Dawes, McKinley, Taft, Roosevelt, Mrs.
Hoover, Mrs. Coolidge, James William

Good. ... As in most G. O. P. offices
this year, there is no picture of Product
Harding. ...A_ telegraph instrument

chatters with nervous importance down
the hall. There are private wires, telephone
as well as telegraph, to both Washington
and New York. . . . Throngs of people,
some important, some trying to look im-
portant, “confer” in standing groups of
two, three, four. ... Throngs of Mr.
Good’s assistants come, go, confer. One is
named Hainer Hinshaw. The office be-
lieves he is a distant relative of the Nomi-
nee. . . . One of the department heads is
Col. Hanford MacNider, who resigned last
winter as Assistant Secretary of War and
in June got mentioned for the Vice Presi-
dency. Another (Oh, shrewd Mr. Good)
is Farmer Lowden’s good friend, James G.
Oglesby.

Conversation is drowned out now and
again by grainboats whistling for bridges
in the Chicago River, beneath the win-
dows—insistent voices of the Farm Prob-
lem.

bookends, paperweights. His complexion

has been organization and politics with him
all summer, with only a few games of golf
mixed in even on Sundays. When he does
get off he goes to the Glen View Club,
oldtime haunt of the late Fred W. Upham,
treasurer of the Harding campaign.

Wisconsin and Minnesota are the Mid-
western States which the Democrats have
been claiming most persistently. Mr. Good
was frank to say last week that “an educa-
tional campaign on the farm problem is
essential.” He arrives at decisions like this
by forming Hoover-Curtis clubs through-
out a State and from their reports compil-
ing a cross section of the State’s sentiment.
He then prepares material, inspects the
local machinery for distributing it and fires
away.

He is more chary than less experienced
organizers (viz. Raskob) about making
claims of States or predictions of major-
ities. But he yields to no man as a writer
of propaganda. In a bulletin which he com-
posed last week he pictured Nominee
Hoover as virtually the sole author of

Coolidge Prosperity and the latter as a-

“world wonder.” Money is what counts
in an election but fine phrases help and
James William Good knows it. It is very
much like being an apostolic missionary.
Sometimes you have to wrestle for a man’s
political soul for hours and hours. Some-
times you can win him in a trice with a
ponderous period. And tiresome though it
is to turn out ponderous periods, life is
often brightened by the gorgeous retorts
of the heathen. For example, this is the
answer one Hooverizer got when he ap-
proached an insurgent South Dakota edi-
tor: “I am for Hoover just about as far as
you can throw our party elephant by the
pin feathers with your arm broken in four

places!”

Colonel Mann. Nominee Hoover has
a Moses, a Good, a Work and a Mann.
The four names might be worked into a
campaign jingle, but for the fact that Mr.
Hoover’s Mann is very seldom officially

mentioned in the party. After he has per-
formed in the East and Nominee Smith is
through in the Midwest, Nominee Hoover
is going to make a trip unprecedented in
G. O. P. history. He is going into the
mountainous, Dry, Protestant, eastern end
of Tennessee, up among the hill-billies, to
small Elizabethton. He will go not so much
as the G. O. P.’s nominee but more as a
distinguished citizen seeking his fellow citi-
zens’ votes for the Presidency. There are
a lot of Republican voters in Eastern Ten-
nessee and the Democrats there are Jack-
son Democrats. That means dry, rural,
Protestant, and every one knows that Citi-
zen Hoover’s opponent is Wet, urban, Ro-
man Catholic. Citizen Hoover will stand
there on the mountains and address all the
anti-Smith Democrats in the South. It was
an idea of Col. Horace A. Mann’s.

Col. Mann is a Tennesseean of obscure
origin, no relation of the late great edu-
cator, Horace Mann.* Republicans know,
however, that Col. Mann is a considerable
educator himself.

He is a lawyer. He used to play poker
with President Harding. He turned up at.
the Kansas City convention last June with
even more pledges and proxies of Southern
delegates and alternates than Virginia’s
wily C. Bascom Slemp had collected. He
helped the Hoover nomination, more
covertly but little less substantially than
James William Good. Then he dropped
out of sight until last month, when it
became apparent that he had been com-
missioned by Nominee Hoover to work,
independently of the National Republican
Committee, for a fusion of the South’s
anti-Smith Democrats and the Southern
G. O. P. It was Col. Mann’s idea that the
Negro element of the Southern G. O. P.
should be so far as possible eliminated,
especially from the electoral tickets. As a
result there is not a single Negro elector
on a Southern ticket this fall. Anti-Smith
Democrats, appreciating this courtesy,
have flocked to accept nominations as
Hoover electors.

The New York World sent an investiga-
tor to Col. Mann’s office in Washington,
which is maintained a mile from Repub-
lican headquarters and saves Dry Demo-
crats the embarrassment of being seen
crossing the party line. The investigator

asked for campaign material “suitable for
distribution among the women who would
not be interested in economic matters.”
The investigator reported, and later swore,
that one of Col. Mann’s assistants offered
to take her to the office of The Fellowship
Forum, Ku Klux Klan sheet, published in
Washington. There the investigator found
that, for nominal prices, bales of stuff
could be had attacking Nominee Smith for
Popery. “Who pays the Klan?” asked
the World.

Col. Mann contradicted the World in-
vestigator’s affidavit. She had, he said,
hung around his office and pestered for
scurrilous material, although repeatedly
told there was none to be had. Going to
The Fellowship Forum was her own idea,
said Col. Mann.

*Horace Mann, first secretary of the Massa-
chusetts Board of Education (1837-41), created
a- system of public schools which served as a
model for many another state.

Additions to the Smith movement in-

Charles W. Clark, mining man, Repub-
lican since 1896, son of the late, famed
Senator William Andrews Clark of Mon-
tana. Reason: “Whether they wish to or
not the American people today must rec-
ognize that the main issue of this cam-
paign is that of personal liberty.”

Ray Stannard Baker (“David Gray-
son”), author and publicist, biographer of
Woodrow Wilson. Reason: “Candid, pro-
gressive, humane.” Non-partisan, a friend
of both Nominees, Mr. Baker kept both
their pictures on his study wall until he
made up his mind. Last week he removed
the Hoover picture.

Mrs. Curtis L. Guild, widow of a one-
time (1906-09) Governor of Massachu-

the most famed Negroes of all tine, could
do much toward organizing the Chicago
Black Belt the way Harlem had been or-
ganized by the New York Democrats.

In January, Committeeman Johnson
reported to TIME:

“We ... are glad to state that we are
meeting with wonderful success. Members
are coming in daily, glad for a chance to
receive their long delayed political justice.

“Knowing as they do the fair policy of
Tammany Hall, they are throwing their
loyal support to our organization, far be-
yond our most sanguine expectations.

“T shall in the future as in the past do
my full duty to my country and my race.”

Political speculators wondered how
Black Jack Democrat’s “‘sanguine expecta-
tions” might have been affected by Little
John Democrat’s somewhat insulting de-
nial of any connection between them.

: it
Warrior

September began to wane and the
friends and enemies of The Happy War-
rior* agreed that, so far, he had not got
off the defensive.

First there was Charles C. Marshall, in
the Atlantic Monthly of March 1927, on
Roman Catholicism. The Warrior an-
swered that.

Then there was the Dry bloc at Hous-
ton. The Warrior surmounted it, but not
without losses.

Then there was William Allen White
and Vice. The Warrior enmeshed Mr.
White but came out under the sign of the
saloon.

Then there was Preacher Straton and
more Vice, more saloons. The Warrior was
so vexed that he “dignified an insect with
an incident.”

Then there was extravagance. The War-

*“Victory is his habit—the happy warrior—

Alfred E. Smith.” (Franklin D. Roosevelt in his
nominating speech.)

rior answered Under-Secretary of the
Treasury Ogden Livingston Mills, but not
so bravely but that Mr. Mills could still
rebut with a semblance of conviction. The
Warrior’s terms as Governor of New York
had been costly, perhaps for good reasons.
But the Warrior did not restate the rea-
sons. Instead he shifted “blame” to the
Republican Legislatures that had voted
appropriations under him. It was defen-
sive move Number Five.

Finally, culminating last week when
the Warrior was starting West, there was
the Whispering Campaign—on Roman
Catholicism (again), Drunkenness, So-
cial Eligibility (Time, Sept. 17). It was
mean. It was poisonous. It was unworthy
of the Nominee it helped. But it persisted
and the Warrior’s friends grew wroth.
Chairman Work of Hooverism disowned
the Whispers. But Chairman Work, per-
haps forgetting President Rooseveit’s his-
toric misundersteodness about liquor,
could not refrain from adding: “Why is it
necessary for a man’s friends to deny that
he is intoxicated?”

In the last week of preparation for his
first national appearance, the Warrior
tried to point at a specific Whisper and
track it down. A man named Keenan in
Parkersburg, West Va., had written him
that a woman named Bauer in Parkersburg
was passing around word that a woman
named Sanford in Syracuse, N. Y., had
written her that she had seen the Warrior
“disgustingly intoxicated” at the Syracuse,
N. Y., State Fair. It was just the sort of
story that is heard at least weekly by most
of the Warrior’s friends and foes alike.

The Warrior got an exoneration from a
New York State Senator who had been
with him constantly at the Syracuse fair.
He got a denial of the letter from its
alleged writer and an evasion from its
alleged recipient. Then he issued a docu-
ment entitled: “Nailing a Lie in the Whis-
pering Campaign.”

The effect on Smith sympathizers was
one of satisfaction. But nailing a lie in a
whispering campaign is much like nailing
an ant on a rotten plank. The hammer
blows shake out a lot of other ants and
start them swarming furiously. A lot of
the Brown Derby’s best friends wished
that the unhappy Warrior would leave lie-
nailing to his assistants and confine him-
self to constructive campaigning.

The Post Office Department (Harry S.
New of Indiana, Postmaster General)
made a gesture in answer to the charge
that, by laxity, it was aiding the Whisper-
ing Campaign. At Baltimore, Postmaster
Benjamin F. Woelper seized 100 anti-
Smith postcards which Postmaster General
New later pronounced the work of “a de-
praved and degenerate mind.”

Clarence A. Barnes a Republican candi-
date for Attorney-General of Massachu-
setts, annoyed the Happy Warrior by pick-
ing up some New York State talk about a
gambling pool on major league baseball
games which operated “in the shadow of
the Capitol” at Albany. Nominee Smith
had declared himself technically im-
potent to act in this matter (there un-
deniably was a gambling pool) when Col.

September 24, 1928

TIME

National Affairs— (Continued)

Roosevelt the Younger stumped around
making the same charge.

Nominee Smith invited Mr. Barnes to
Albany to point out physically and prove
legally the existence of the devilish pool.
Mr. Barnes wrote back and set a date,
Sept. 19. The Nominee replied again and
sarcastically, regretted that he would be
out of Albany then, but recommended Mr.
Barnes to the Albany, County District At-
torney. Again, somehow, this was incon-
clusive, savoring of defense.

Yet one more Whisper arose to offend
the Warrior. Alfred Emanuel Smith Jr.
is an up-and-coming young lawyer in Man-
hattan. The local Institute for Public
Service last week popped out with the re-
port that Lawyer “Al Jr.” had received
38 “professional opportunities,” i.e., as-
signed law cases, from Tammany judges
whose duty it was to appoint a defender,
receiver or referee. The Smith son-in-law,
Lawyer Francis J. Quillinan (lately mar-
ried to the Warrior’s daughter Catherine)
was shown to have received 22 cases. The
unfairness of the thing was that the num-
ber of cases assigned to other young law-
yers was not mentioned for comparison.
Nor was the ability of the young lawyers
in question evaluated. The embarrassing
feature for the Smiths was that of the
several judges who made the assignments,
two (the Hons. Joseph M. Proskauer and
Bernard L. Shientag) were to accompany
the Warrior on his campaign and a third,
the Hon. Thomas C. T. Crain, was getting
himself considered last week (among
others) as a candidate to succeed the War-
rior as Governor. All this led to a further

question of propriety: should judges enter
so-actively into politics?

Came a bright September evening and
the Warrior sprang from the defense into
militant campaigning. In a new brown
derby, with Mrs. Smith on his arm, he
boarded an elaborate eleven-car special
train at Albany. As it sped westward, a
big red bull’s-eye sign on the back plat-
form announced: “Smith-Robinson Special
—the Victory Ticket.”

On board were four tons of campaign
literature, a reference library, 43 news-
papermen, eight photographers and a
group of the Nominee’s best friends and
advisers. He was bound, via Chicago, for
Omaha, to speak out on farm relief. He
was going into nine states, carefully se-
lected on the basis of their presidential
vote in 1924. It was a dash and a drive
to capture Kansas and Colorado which
Calvin Coolidge carried by large major-
ities; Minnesota and Wyoming, which
Calvin Coolidge carried by small major-
ities; Montana, North Dakota and Ne-
braska, which Calvin Coolidge carried with
fewer votes than Democrat Davis and
Progressive La Follette divided between
them; Oklahoma and Wisconsin, which
Calvin Coolidge did not carry... . In
Manhattan, Lawyer Frank P. Walsh, one
of the late La Follette’s campaign man-
agers, now chairman of a Progressive
League which is working for the brown
Derby. claimed 90% of La Follette’s

5.000,000 votes in 1924 for Smith in 1928.

CATASTROPHE

Great Winds

West Indies. Last week the Caribbean
suddenly became still under a windless
sky. Seabirds wheeled inland, crying.
Small boats with flapping, empty sails
were sculled to harbor. On the Virgin
Islands natives took to their homes in the
hills, jabbered warnings to each other.
Voodoo priests crept about selling charms
against death. Everywhere faces looked
southeast.

Then a low whine of wind sounded
across the water, quivered the palm
fronds. Far out the sea turned frothy with
white-caps. The sun grew blood-red. The
whine of wind became a scream and the
sky shrieked. Roofs, bodies and trees were
lifted like paper, scattered abroad. Over
the shores rose the tortured sea. The sky
was dark.

Up from the Lesser Antilles had come
a hurricane. Its centre moved along slowly,
nine or ten miles per hour, but the vast
volume of air it sucked went raging by at
130 m. p. h.

Porto Rico. The storm’s first major
victim was Porto Rico, which it left torn
and disrupted. The island has a population
of 1,400,000. It was estimated that at least
half of this number were left homeless.
Chaos prevented a complete count of the
dead, but early reports from nine towns
indicated that 263 were known to have
perished. In San Juan, the principal city,
300 chattering consumptives were forced
into the open. Seventy lepers, the roofs
of their colony blown away, were gingerly
herded into an administration building.

All over the island rich coffee and citrus
crops were destroyed. All agriculture suf-
fered. Communication, light and power
systems were out of commission. The 600-
foot towers at the Navy radio station were
toppled. Water service was suspended and
the population collected rain water from
the heavy showers that fell continuously
after the hurricane. The darkened streets
were littered with debris.

Horace Mann Towner, governor of the
island, hurriedly cabled the War Depart-
ment: “Full relief and-reconstruction will

probably reach into millions.” Refugees -

from the rural districts poured into San
Juan. Food prices skyrocketed. Eight rep-
resentative islanders, watching three days
pass in aimless water-soaked turmoil, wrote
to the governor. “For 72 hours,” they
stated, ‘“‘more than 300,000 people of this
island, to estimate conservatively, have
had little or nothing to eaf and they will
have nothing to eat for at least another
week unless immediate and drastic action
is taken.... Disease and famine are
already here.” They urged four relief
measures: 1) martial law; 2) requisition
of all food supplies and materials; 3)
coastwise relief for other parts of the
island via boats; 4) the drafting of all
available manpower for public service.
Again Governor Towner cabled. He be-
seeched all available aid from the Red
Cross and other sources. The estimated
property damage was $65,000,000.

Florida. The storm whirled northwest-
ward, grazed Santo Domingo, isolated the

Bahamas, cut off all wireless communica-
tion. Persons in Florida remembered the
hurricane of 1926 and were not a little
timorous. They sought shelter. The gale
struck 80 miles of Florida coast between
Jupiter Inlet and Miami, a region which
includes Palm Beach. Reports from this
area were fragmentary, telephone and tele-
graph service was interrupted. But it
seemed that the hurricane had diminished
in violence during its passage from Porto
Rico. Nineteen, at last report, were dead
on the East coast of Florida. President
Coolidge, alarmed, called on nation and
Red Cross for help.

Relief. The Red Cross concentrated
its national organization. Henry M. Baker,
National Director of Disaster Relief, hur-
ried to Porto Rico on a destroyer. Public
subscriptions were begged from the nation
by radio, press and pulpit. Preparations
were made to purchase tons of supplies
for shipment to the Caribbean. In Florida,
Nominee Robinson of the Democracy in-
terrupted his campaigning to aid in relief.

Diagnosis. Forecaster Mitchell of the
U.S. Weather Bureau spoke of hurricanes.
“They are probably gentle little eddies of
air at first,” he said, “but gather momen-
tum owing to differences in temperature
and air pressure until they become gigantic
whirls, sucking air toward their central
vortices like gargantuan vacuum cleaners.”
Caribbean hurricanes of more or less vio-
lence are common near the autumnal Equi-
nox. Last week’s winds were reported to
have attained at times the unusual velocity
of 145 m. p. h.

Illinois. A twisting, strangely swooping
tornado lacerated Rockford, Ill. Through-
out the city, buildings were damaged. The
Rockford Cabinet Company collapsed with
150 workers. Thirty-four were injured,
eleven killed and four missing, presumably
under tons of debris. Estimated property
damage: $5,000,000.

Nebraska, South Dakota. Two tor-
nadoes struck rural districts of Nebraska
and South Dakota. Eleven were killed,
among them Schoolmistress Rooney, who
was tossed 300 feet. Estimated property
damage: $1,000,000.

CORRUPTION

Common Customs

If a public servant, for a bribe or what-
ever, permits the violation of a law, he is
Corrupt.

Is a private citizen Corrupt who, by
bribery or otherwise, tries to make or save
money by breaking or evading the law?

The U. S. customs and Prohibition laws
are probably the ones most commonly
broken by the general run of U. S. citizens.
Two incidents last week, though involving
no evidence of attempted bribery, set cit-
izens wondering about Corruption among
private citizens.

Ziegfeld’s Folly. Across the U S
boundary line at Rouse’s Point, N. Y.,
came a train of which one unit was the

“Roamer,” private car of Jacob Leonard
Replogle, New York Steelman. Mr. and
Mrs. Replogle were aboard and so were
Dr. Jerome Wagner of Manhattan, a

brother of U. S. Senator Robert Wagner
of New York, and Florenz Ziegfeld, famed

girl-glorifier, producer of the perennial
Follies. They had been visiting at the
Wagner camp near Quebec.

It was 9 a. m. and the Messrs. Ziegfeld
and Wagner had not arisen for the day.
Neither had the Replogles. When the Cus-
toms inspector came through, Mr. Zieg-
feld said yes, he had no alcoholics. The
Replogles said no, they had none either.
Dr. Wagner, however, spoke up and ad-
mitted he had some whiskey left in a
bottle. The “Roamer’s” porter confessed
he had a bottle of beer.

The inspector frowned, apologized,

searched, discovered:

i Eee 50 bottles
DM: cc cticka cases 54 bottles
. ee eee 44 bottles

Mr. and Mrs. Replogle denied all knowl-
edge of where it came from. But the
“Roamer” was uncoupled and detained at
Rouse’s Point until Dr. Wagner and Pro-
ducer Ziegfeld had been fined $614.

Lawyer Steuer.* In Manhattan, it
leaked out that Max D. Steuer had been
obliged to pay $5,251.30 in duties and fines
for an improper customs declaration which
his wife had made out for them jointly.
Inspectors had discovered $2,625.65 (U.S.
value) worth of dresses, lingerie, etc., etc.,
in the Steuer luggage which Mrs. Steuer
had neglected to mention.

It was embarrassing for Mr. Steuer be-
cause he already enjoys a fame bordering
on notoriety. He is a lawyer. Not brilliant
mentally, he excels at courtroom melo-
dramatics of a type which many a jury has
found seductive. ‘““The Belasco of the Bar,”
he has been called, by persons not trying to
compliment Producer David Belasco.

Lawyer Steuer hastened to explain that
the undeclared goods had all belonged to
his wife, not to himself. Then “merely
. . . to demonstrate that there was no pos-
sibility for the Government to be wronged
of a cent or that she or I should profit a
cent,” Lawyer Steuer made this astonish-
ing statement:

“T would like to call attention to the
fact that whatever is paid by way of cus-
toms duties is deductible from income tax.
My income tax for the year 1928 will be
(as it has for many years been and would
be if I had no income for the balance of
the year) very many times $900 and many
times $5,251. Mrs. Steuer’s income tax,
separately payable by her upon her in-
come, amounts to many times $goo and a
number of iimes $5,251.

Coming from a lawyer who demands the
fees that he does, this Steuerism was either
astounding stupidity or an example of
bold, high-priced trickery. U. S. customs
duties are deductible, not from one’s in-
come tax, but from one’s gross income.
Moreover, penalties or fines paid for in-
fractions of the law are in no case deduct-

ible.

In Philadelphia

More and more turbulent grew Phila-
delphia’s liquor ring investigation (Time,
Sept. 17). The city’s bootleggers, finding
the local distilling plants padlocked were
not downhearted. They ordered shipments

of alcohol from Porto Rico via New York.
These goods were seized, however.

Mayor Mackey of Philadelphia clutched
the rostrum of the Arch Street Methodist
Episcopal Church and begged Evangelist
“Billy” Sunday to conduct “a great cam-
paign in this city as an antidote to the
bootlegger, hi-jacker and gunman.” Mr.
Sunday, responding, said the proposition
was attractive.

Federal Agents. To the railroad sta-
tion went newsmen, photographers, city of-
ficials. They met an incoming train. On
board was George E. (“Hardboiled”)
Golding, ‘‘ace” of the Federal Prohibition
Bureau, and eight assistants. Big, be-
spectacled Mr. Golding and his staff had
recently combatted Chicago beer-runners
with their own methods of shooting and
blackjacking. This bravura policy is said
to have caused Mr. Golding’s removal.
Previous to Chicago, he had operated in
Cleveland, where he secured 112 indict-
ments. The Golding fame rests largely on
the Golding flair for secrecy. But never
did soft shoe men indulge in such a brou-
haha of publicity as did Mr. Golding in
Philadelphia. He issued detailed announce-
ments. He had his sleuths grouped and
photographed at the Bellevue-Stratford
Hotel. It was obvious that Mr. Golding
wanted to give Philadelphia’s ‘leggers an
even break. People said it was because
Philadelphia is Republican and too many
discoveries there might be embarrassing to
Mr. Golding’s superior, Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney
General. As everyone knows, Mrs. Wille-
brandt is a Hooverizer of almost reckless
intensity.

Bigwigs. Before their own Grand
Jury the Federals began by reviewing the
case of one Joel D. Kerper, “society boot-
legger,”” whose headquarters were raided
on July 20. The examination of ’Legger
Kerper’s records disclosed the names of
many famed Philadelphians, presumably
bigwigs who had dickered with him. Among

these were: D. B. Cummins Catherwood,
banker; Gardner Cassat, banker & broker;
Roland R. Foulke, attorney & active
churchman; Maxwell R. Marston, onetime
(1923) national amateur golf champion;
Major Anthony Joseph Drexel Biddle,
author, lecturer, explorer, founder of the
“Athletic Christianity” movement. Sub-
poenas were scattered far and wide.

Alfred E. Norris, Manhattan stock-
broker, was indicted on a charge of con-
spiracy with "Legger Kerper, who was
alleged to have sent some 15 shipments of
liquor to the broker’s apartment. Special
Assistant Attorney General Davis hoped
to set a precedent for prosecuting buyers
as well as vendors. He did not, however,
neglect "Legger Kerper, who was indicted
on 33 counts.

“Boo Boo.” In the meantime District
Attorney Monaghan continued his exam-
ination of Max (“Boo Boo’’) Hoff, alleged
Master Mind of Philadelphia’s underworld.
There was much evidence of Mr. Hoff’s
Christmas largesse to sympathetic police-
men. Eighteen pound turkeys were the
gifts he chose, and he gave them in flocks.
Turkeys mysteriously appeared on the
doorstep of many an officer who had
never met Mr. Hoff. In 1926, said Dis-
trict Attorney Monaghan, “Boo Boo”
gave $250,000 worth of Christmas presents

to policemen.

RACES
Unfit

Robert White Lanier, Negro stowaway
on Polar Pilgrim Byrd’s flagship, The City
of New York, was the cause of an exult-
ing editorial in the Pittsburgh Courier
(famed Negro newspaper), which said:
“Whatever goes on in the world there
always seems to be a Negro there” (Time,
Sept. 17).

Last week, stowaway Lanier was re-
moved from The City of New York at
Colon, Panama, because he is physically
unfit for antarctic exploration; he has a
police record for disorderly conduct and
abusive language.

POLITICAL NOTES

“Ae Goes... GOR i... 2

The season of State conventious and
primary elections progressed last week tu
the augury stage.

Maine. Though its presidential vote
has been chronically Republican since the
Civil War, with the exception of the split-
year 1912, there is a certain post-mortem
parallelism between Maine’s state-election
votes in September and the nation’s presi-
dential votes two months later. There
was, accordingly, nationwide Republican
whoopee when William Tudor Gardiner,
Republican, was elected Governor of
Maine by an 82,000 majority over Edward
C. Moran, Jr., Democrat. It was the larg-
est G. O. P. margin in Maine history and
was shared generally by the full ticket for
Senator and Representatives.

The Brown Derby ignored or belittled
the occurrence. Arch-Hooverites said:
“It’s all over, including the shouting.”

Georgia. Newspapers of a certain cast
had been predicting severe inroads on the
regular Democratic vote of Georgia by

the Hoover Democrats. Last week
Georgia Democrats voted. Governor La-
martine Griffin Hardman, pro-Smith, was
renominated comfortably. In the Fifth
Congressional District (Atlanta), excite-
ment ensued between Representative Les-
lie J. Steele and onetime (1919-27) Rep-
resentative William (‘Earnest Willie’)
Upshaw, who sought to “come back” with
Anathema Smith as his one issue. Mr.
Upshaw, a cripple with a tireless, high-
pitched voice, an extensive Biblical and
patriotic vocabulary and a standing offer
to use all for the Anti-Saloon League, was

comfortably beaten by Mr. Steele.
Washington. The alleged issue was
Tacoma v. the Timber Interests in a Re-
publican fight between Chairman Albert
Johnson of the House Committee on Im-
migration and one Homer T. Bone of Ta-
coma for the nomination to Mr. Johnson’s
seat Mr. Johnson won narrowly. Other
Republican winners were Governor Roland
H. Hartley (renominated) and Kenneth
MacIntosh. The latter outran Miles Poin-
dexter, oldtime (1911-23) Senator, re-
tired Ambassador to Peru, for nomination
to the Senate seat now occupied by Wash-
ington’s Clarence C. Dill. Democrats
nominated Lawyer A. Scott Bullitt of
Seattle to run against Governor Hartley.

Senator Dill’s renomination was un-
opposed.
Arizona. Senator Henry Fountain

Ashurst, famed Boulder Dam filibusterer,
handily won his Democratic renomination.
Democrat-George Wylie Paul Hunt, Ari-
zona’s habitual (1911-19; 1923-28) Gov-
ernor, was put up for an eighth term. If
Arizona goes in November as in Septem-
ber, Senator Ashurst will be re-elected by
three-to-one over Republican Nominee
Ralph H. Cameron. Governor Hunt's op-
ponent will be Judge John C. Phillips.

Colorado. The biggest question in Col-
orado was whether or not Denver’s Demo-
crats were as Wet as when, last year, they
sent S. Harrison White to the House.
They were. Mr. White was renominated
about three-to-one. Attorney-General Wil-
liam L. Boatright was nominated by Re-
publicans to contest Governor William H.
Adams’ re-election.

New Mexico. Republicans renomi-
nated Governor Richard C. (‘Honest
Dick”) Dillon, famed in his last campaign
for his 22-word campaign speeches, and
objections to wearing a dress suit at his
inaugural ball. Governor Dillon said he
might cut his campaign speeches this year
to eleven words. His opponent: Democrat
Bob Dow, cowboy Attorney-General

New Hampshire. Charles W. Tobey,
oldtime Roosevelt Republican, won the
G. O. P. nomination for governor from
Ora A. Brown. Mr. Brown had the back-
ing of Governor Huntley N. Spaulding
and of Senator George Higgins Moses,
Hooverism’s busy-bustling Eastern chief.

Vermont. In respect to its public serv-
ants, Republican Vermont has a ‘“moun-
tain rule,” to wit: no Governor shall
serve twice; the position shall alternate
between the eastern and western sections
of the state. i.e., the two slopes of the
Green Mountains. But last year Vermont
had bad floods and economic upheaval.

Governor John E. Weeks. oldtime West
Sloper, handled himself and the crisis well,
and the crisis included the drowning of
Lieutenant-Governor S. Hollister Jack-
son of Barre (East Slope). In last week’s
primary, Governor Weeks, 74, ‘““Vermont’s
Al Smith,” had the temerity to offer “con-
tinuity of service” against tradition, and
the popularity to carry it off. He was re-
nominated, some 21,000 to 12,400 over
Mayor Deavitt of Montpelier, Vermont’s
capital of the East Slope.

Personification

Who is the contemporary Personifica-
tion of the Spirit of America?

Some might say Calvin Coolidge, ex
officio.

Some might say -ocean-daring,
effacing Charles Augustus Lindbergh.

Perhaps an authority on the subject
might be Will H. Hays, a man who has
known the dominant political party of the
U. S. from bottom to top; who is an Elk,
a 32° Mason and an elder of a dominant
U.S. church (Presbyterian) ; the man who
reigns magisterially over a dominant U. S.
industry (cinema). Mr. Hays helped open
a “social club” for the cinema trade in
Manhattan last week. New York’s Mayor
trig, glib James John Walker, was also
present. In the course of his speech, Mr.
Hays indicated Mayor Walker, grew in-
tense and said:

“He is a New Yorker, but more than
any other man he personifies the Spirit of
America.”

AERONAUTICS

Airy Epigram

In the mess of epics which the news-
papers print concerning bitter-faced avia-
tors who fly grimly across oceans and con-
tinents for glory or their mothers there
should be no word of a flight which began
last week at Stag Lane Airdrome, near
London. Not an epic but an airy epigram.
it told the story of a rich old man and a
charming lady and soldier.

The Rich Old Man was the celebrated
Harry Gordon Selfridge who, as everyone
knows, worked his way up through Mar-
shall Field’s Chicago department store be-
fore leaving the U. S. and setting himself
up in England with a huge store of the
same kind, a huge house in the centre of
London, four children, and many dear
friends, among whom the Dolly sisters
are surely the most intimate.

Among the rich old man’s four children,
is the onetime Violet Selfridge, who is
now the Vicomtesse de Sibour.*

Jacques de Sibour was an ace and a
great ace in the War, a fact which not
everyone knows who knows Jacques de
Sibour. On marrying Violet Selfridge it
became necessary for him to go to work
in the Selfridge store for the rich old
man. Thus Jacques de Sibour and his wife
lived in Lansdowne House, the grand and
picture-filled castle in the centre of Lon-
don. When Jacques got a two weeks holi-
day, they toured all about the Mediter-
ranean in a tiny airplane. When they
were granted a longer vacation they flew
to Abyssinia and built a house in the des-
perate mountains.

Last week the time had come when the
Vicomte deserved another long holiday.
He and his wife conferred as to what they
should do. This time they had nine
months at their disposal—obviously, the
proper thing was a trip around the world
Obviously also, if you have been an ace,
you understand that the majority of aero-
nautical accidents are the pilot’s fault and
that being up in the air, so long as no one
is shooting at you from another plane, is
as safe as being on the ground and much
more pleasant. Accordingly, the de Sibours
would go around the world in a $3,250 air
plane which uses 44 gallons of gas and not
quite a pint of oil per hour. It is a blue
and silver Moth, named Safari JJ. The
de Sibours will fly only when the weather
is right and if they lose their way they
will land their little plane most anywhere
and\get directions. They will be ferried
across the largest bodies of water.

The Vicomte and Vicomtesse de Sibour
had their hunting clothes sent on to
Africa; trunks of tropical clothes to-
gether with trifles were despatched. to
Bombay and Penang. They took with
them however in two bags which were
stowed into the De Haviland Moth, eve-
ning clothes and other proper equipment
for polite traveling. At the airdrome, a
reporter asked questions which de Sibour

THE LEAGUE

Schweinehund!!

“What Devil is riding Briand?”

“Double Faced Briand shows his true
face.”

“A knife in Germany’s back from
Briand.”

“Evil Briand”

These comments, and others like them,
sizzled from the sanctums of foremost Ber-
lin editors, last week—even from such
editors as urbane Georg Bernhard* and
mild Henrich Rippler. . . .+

The rest of the Teuton press simply bel-
lowed SCHWEINEHUND!! at M. Aris-
tide Briand, French Foreign Minister, old,
baggy-trousered, shaggy-headed, and per-
haps Europe’s smartest statesman.

What may someday be remembered as
“Briand’s Schweinehund Speech” was de-
livered last week before the Assembly of
the League of Nations at Geneva. The
presence of the Assembly was immaterial.
Briand was talking straight to World
Public Opinion, defending himself, France
and the Allies, thrusting hard at a certain
German and at Germany.

Muller’s Barbs. The certain German
is Hermann Miiller, Chancellor of the Ger-
man Reich. Last fortnight he gutturally
addressed the League audience (TIME,
Sept. 17), and thrust three barbs.

Barb One: Germany is now disarmed.
Therefore, contended Herr Miiller, the
Allies are morally obligated to disarm, too.
But they are not disarming.

Barb Two: Germany is scrupulously
fulfilling her Versailles Treaty obligations.
Therefore, reminded Herr Miiller, the
Allies are reciprocally obligated (by a
clause in the Treaty) to reward German
good behavior with some such concession
as early evacuation of the Rhineland.

Barb Three: Herr Miiller implied that
M. Briand is a hyprocrite, just talks
peace, disarmament, etc., etc., etc.

Briand’s Thrusts. Never before has
Peace Apostle Aristide Briand addressed
the League in such militant, 100% French
fashion as last week. Usually he exhales
the grand hymn of International Concord.
Last week he snapped like an angry
Frenchman at enemy Germans: “It is very
easy to make fine speeches about peace,
and I know I have been reproached by my
political enemies for producing words in-
stead of deeds. I do not say that the Ger-
man Chancellor is one of these reproach-
ers. His speech was very eloquent. Still I
could not help feeling that some such re-
proach underlay it.

“We have been asked why, seeing that
Germany is disarmed, all other countries
are armed, especially France. But Ger-
many is not completely disarmed.** She
has 100,000 men, and what men! Fine

cers—and behind them enormous numbers

not, for eight or ten years at least, be
ready to come forward and fight.”

So much for Germany’s potential might.
Next M. Briand implied that the Reich
has a still mightier potential ally, Soviet
Russia. Of the reds M. Briand said with
heavy innuendo:

“There may be one European country,
not yet a League member, which has in-
creased its armaments while all others
have decreased theirs.* Its signature is at-
tached to the [Kellogg] Pact of Paris re-
nouncing war of aggression, but I do not
know that it has renounced another kind
of warfare which some regarded as a
holy war,+ thinking they and they alone
understand the truth which they desire to
impose upon other countries.”

Since Peace Prizer Briand’s dander was
now up, he digressed completely, to flay
the many critics of the new, secret Anglo-
French military-naval agreement (TIME,
Aug. 13). Everyone now knows that the
existence of the agreement was revealed
through an incredibly stupid British
blunder; and a further piece of British
folly has been to keep the text dark after
the fact of its existence leaked. Passion
tinged the rich tones of Briand’s voice as
he cried: “France and Great Britain have
been working together for the peace of the
world, and have been singularly unfor-
tunate.

“We had a very definite difference of
view regarding certain questions concern-
ing disarmament. We saw very little

[League] Preparatory Commission for
Disarmament unless we could come to

. some agreement, so we got together.

“They talk of secret clauses. All we
were doing was endeavoring to assist the
cause of disarmament.”

Despite these plausible words, the secret
continued kept.

Finally, having rubbed the wrong way
Germany, Russia and all who hate “se-
cret diplomacy,” Aristide Briand cooled
serenely down. He concluded that he was
now ready to discuss with the German
and Allied plenipotentiaries at Geneva
what should be done, after all, about evac-
uating the Rhineland.

By this time German news organs were
already thundering SCHWEINEHUND!!
Nay, one furious member of the German
Delegation had actually to be restrained
from assaulting M. Briand, at whom he
yelled, “Slanderer! You know we are dis-
armed!”

Even responsible correspondents cabled
that all chance of adjusting the Rhine-
land matter had completely broken down.
Frenzy! But after a while someone ob-
served that a notice had been pinned on
the League press bulletin board, calling
attention to the fact that His Excellency
the Foreign Minister of France was now
quite ready to sit down and negotiate
coolly.

Code telegrams flew between Geneva
and Berlin. President von Hindenburg
sent several. Sick-abed German Foreign
Minister Gustav Stresemann sent his con-
fidential secretary flying to Hermann Miil-
ler. Plainly, official Germany was amazed,
staggered. But Aristide Briand repeated
that now would be a good time to nego-
tiate, now while the welkin rang with
SCHWEINEHUND!!

Lightning. Of course, when people
stopped to think, they realized that it
was a good time to negotiate, and a good
thing that Briand’s lightning had darted,
shocked.

The shock silenced potent French polit-
ical opponents of Aristide Briand, who
have been scaring French voters with
bogey tales that Internationalist Briand
is a menace to French security and ever
ready to give Germany something for
nothing, for example the Locarno Pacts.
Such critics were squashed very nearly
flat, last week, when the Foreign Minis-
ter’s lightning produced a popular impres-
sion that he must be as 100% French as
stern, suspicious, watchful Prime Minister
Raymond Poincaré, whom Germans hate
& fear.

Moreover, the shock was potent in clear-
ing the German popular mind of an im-
pression that Pacifist Briand might be pre-
vailed upon by Chancellor Miiller to
evacuate the Rhineland without cash com-
pensation, just because it would be “right.”

After the “Schweinehund Speech,” how-
ever, it was clear that Briand and Poin-
caré are one in stickling for cash. This
impression Lightninger Briand strongly
confirmed by a quick trip from Geneva to
Paris to confer with President Poincaré,

and so back to negotiate with Chancellor
Miiller.

Success & Satisfaction. When the
Briand-Miller pourparlers between Ger-
man and Allied representatives were finally
staged last week, agreement “in principle”
was reached on the following enormously
significant program: 1) Early evacuation
ot the Rhineland. Evacuation to involve
the acceptance by Germany of a “Com-
mission of Verification and Conciliation.”
The commission to be a continuing body,
charged with reporting whether treaty ob-
ligauons are being kept all round; 2) Com-
pensation to the Allies for evacuating the
Rhineland to be paid by Germany in ac-
cordance with the recommendations of a
“Committee of Financial Experts.” This
committee will reopen with epochal sig-
nificance the whole question of repara-
tions.

As the statesmen emerged from their
historic conierence both Chancellor Miul-
ler and Foreign Minister Briand were
beaming happily.

“Today’s procedure means,” cried Aris-
tide Briand, “that final liquidation of the
War has at last really begun. For myself
I never doubted that the result of our
pourparlers would be satisfactory, and so
it is.

“All the principles have been settled
and agreed upon by all. I am confident
that the work of the experts which must
now. follow soon will also prove successful.
Then within, a few months at most—we
will have the right to declare that at last
we have fully cleared up the European
situation.”

League Business. Few people cared
whether the League Assemly was in ses-
sion, last week, but the Delegates achieved:
1) Election of Spain, Venezuela and Persia
to three-year-term League Council seats,
Spain being further voted the assurance
ot re-election when term expires; 2) Hand-
clap for announcement by Baron Adachi
that Japan’s army is now down to 200,000
from War strength of 300,000; 3) Resolu-
tion of censure upon Chief League Under-
secretary the Marquis Paulucci di Cal-
boli Barone (onetime private secretary to
Mussolini) because the Count is charged
with trying to pop too many Fascists into
League Secretariat posts.

INTERNATIONAL

Monarchisms

Royalists and Imperialists rejoiced, last

week, as progress was made away from
Democracy:
@ Poland’s eccentric dictator, Marshal
Josef Pilsudski, was besought by 1,500
delegates of the Monarchist Party to pro-
claim himself “Emperor of Poland” last
week.

Marshal Pilsudski who is now gulping
mineral water at a Rumanian spa, “The
Baths of Hercules,” did not repudiate the
suggestion of a Crown. Poland was of
truly Imperial dimensions circa 1650 in
the great days of Ladislas IV and John
Casimir II.

royalist, the perennial squabble between
Budapest politicians is over whether to
elect a king or to recognize the legitimate
claim of Prince Otto of Habsburg. Last
week legitimist Hungarians were wroth to

the point of oaths and tears because Prime
Minister Count Stephen Bethlen has just
appointed the leader of the electionists,
Herr Julius Gémbés, to be Under Secre-
tary for War.

At present Hungary is ruled by His
Serene Highness Nicholas Horthy de
Nagybanya, Governor of the Kingdom—
which has yet to choose a king. ‘ Count
Bethlen, virtually a dictator, leans covertly
toward the electionists. The legitimists
suspect him of wanting to snatch for him-
self #5-year old Prince Otto’s Crown.

The actual and holy Crown of St.
Stephen without which no monarch has
been King of Hungary for 900 years, now
lies in a great vault atop the citadel of
Buda.

@ One of the few direct and absolute
commands issued recently by British Em-
peror George V was cabled to Santa Bar-
bara, Calif., into the harbor of which
steamed, last week, H. M. S. Durban,
carrying Prince George, youngest son of
Their Majesties, in his technical capacity
of a mere Naval Lieutenant.

The command, really a prohibition, for-
bade Prince George to fly from Santa
Barbara to Hollywood. So Prince George
motored to Hollywood and famed Douglas
and Mary fed him there.

H. R. H. said: “Your California climate

“Oh yes, I like the Navy very much.
They treat me just like the other officers,

Hearst Feature Writer “Annie Laurie”
tittered at fatuous length:

“Prince George—dear me... young
and good looking, and heart whole and
fancy free. Do you suppose there is a
girl in California who will have a moment’s
peace while the prince is here . . . deep
eyes and such a voice of mellow sweet-
ness. . .

After leaving Santa Barbara, Captain
Coleridge of H. M. S. Durban radioed to
the Associated Press as he steamed toward
the Panama Canal and Bermuda: “‘I should
be obliged if you would note that all press
reports concerning his Royal Highness
Prince George during the visit are with-
out foundation and are unauthorized.”
Seemingly this blanket statement was in-
tended to smother an A. P. story that
H. R. H. had split his trousers in Santa
Barbara, while performing the “varsity
drag.”

FRANCE

Deauville Drolleries

Smart folk motoring down to Biarritz. at
the close of Deauville’s “fortnight,” had
two droll little incidents to tell about

A young woman rose very pale from the
baccarat table at Deauville Casino. She
swayed and seemed about to faint, then
her eyes fixed on a swarthy, paunchy In-
dian, His Highness the Aga Khan. As
though impelled by hypnosis she toox «
step toward the Khan.

“T’ve just lost my last sou,” she saia
a little huskily, “how does Your High-
ness always, always win?”

The Aga Khan is a descendant of the
True Prophet, and a gallant gentleman
“Take this, Ma’m’selle,” he said, handing
her a huge oblong chip. “I make only one
condition. You must never play baccarat
again.”

In a_ still more hypnotic _ state,
Ma’m’selle moved dazedly to the cashier's
window, cashed the chip for its stamped
value of 100,000 francs ($4,000), and
tottered out under Deauville’s big moon.

The other drollery, trivial, befell Actress
Yvette Laurent when she strolled into a
Deauville bar and sang out cheerily to a
middle-aged man, “How about a little
drink?”

(Yvette later explained, “Of course I
would never have dreamed of doing such
a thing in Paris!)

“Charming,” said the middle-aged man,
“Champagne?”

“What’s your name?” brightened Yvette.

“Dreyfuss.”

Some 30 minutes later an equerry en-
tered and addressed the iniddle-aged man
as “Highness.”

“Say Dreyfuss,” gulped Mlle. Laurent,
“who are you anyway?” but Dreyfuss
offered an excuse, kissed her hand, was
gone.

“Dreyfuss,” as the Bar Man told Yvette,
was His Royal Highness, Prince Aage of
Denmark, cousin of King Christian X.

H. R. H. is chiefly celebrated for his im-
mortal and exact definition of the taste
of Montmartre boite de nuite (night club)
champagne.

“Tt tastes,” said Prince Aage, “like a

’ dusty windowpane.”

“Eden Crisis”

“T propose the fig leaf as your emblem,
gentlemen! Honor it as the origin of your
great Merchant Tailors’ Federation.
When the Garden of Eden crisis occurred,
Eve took the only available fig leaf, and
Adam had to clothe himself in heavy skins.

“In our present day of grace, Eve has
returned to her old principle of the scant
fig leaf, but Adam still clothes himself
heavily and laboriously. .. 1 suggest
more color in Adam’s clothes... . May
we live to see a scarlet morning coat worn
with fig-leaf-green trousers and a canary
waistcoat!”

To convivial Merchant Tailors, ban-
queting in London last week, it seemed
that the above words were actually ut-
tered by Guest-of-Honor Sir Nicholas

Gratten-Doyle, M. P., and Director of
Northern Newspapers Co., Ltd. But
friends of Sir William doubted. They
knew that he knows his Bible. Therefore
it seemed impossible that he could have
so thoroughly scrambled the Genesis
story of the fig leaves and the suits of
skins.

Eve did not clothe herself in “the only
available fig leaf.” There were plenty.
For (Genesis III, 7) ‘they [Adam and
Eve] sewed fig leaves together and made
themselves aprons.”

Adam was apparently quite as satisfied
with his scanty apron as Eve; but the
Lord God was not. Therefore (Genesis
lil, 21) “unto Adam also and to his wife
did the Lord God make coats of skins and
clothed them.”

Pious Merchant Tailors should honor
no more fig leaf or apron of fig leaves, but
rather the Lord God, as the true originator
of their ancient profession.

Insulter K ipling

Poet Rudyard Kipling insulted Queen
Victoria with a Barrack Room Ballad. It
hailed, “the Widow at Windsor,” rollicked
that she sent her soldiers to “barbarious
wars,” bellowed that she had bought
“ ’alf ’o Creation” with English blood.

Of course hard-boiled men in barracks
do rollick and bellow, especially at the
Sovereign and the Empire they love. But
Victoria, no Hard-Boiled Queen, missed
the too-blunt point and was irrevocably
insulted.

Therefore a news furore stirred, last
week, when Queen Insulter Kipling went
up to the royal Scottish estate at Balmoral,
and there settled down as the house guest
of George V.

An ignorant world press blared that at
last King-Emperor George V had forgiven
the poet who insulted a widow by calling
her “widow!”

Actually the reconciliation took place
some years ago. Poet Kipling’s cousin,
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, presented
him at a Royal Levee in 1925. By pure
accident, George V was ill on the appointed
day; and the Levee had to be held by
Edward of Wales (officially representing
His Majesty). The function was, in every
social particular, the exact equivalent of a
reception by the King-Emperor. Thus the
story that Rudyard Kipling was not “for-
given” until last week is tosh.

Public libraries throughout the English
speaking world were hard pressed to sup-
ply insult-snoopers with the poem. Ex-
cerpts:

"Ave you ’eard o’ the Widow at Windsor
With a hairy gold crown on ’er ’cad?
She ’as ships on the foam—she ’as millions at

There ’s ’er mark on the medical stores—

An’ ’er troopers you'll find with a fair wind be’ind

ITALY
Judge Mussolini

L’Onorevole Mussolini returned last
week to his birthplace, Predappio, donned
a fore and aft cap a la Sherlock Holmes,
confined himself to a vegetarian and lactic
diet, and proceeded to till fields, raise
callouses.

All this and more he did to speed the
hours of a brief vacation and reinvigorate
his health.

In the village Brusque Benito was
greeted by enthusiastic natives who held
in his honor a baby show, then a beauty
show. Of both bambinos and signorinas
Il Duce was judge.

Afterwards Predappio’s “Our Benito”
displayed knowledge of the Christian
names of all the villagers, chaffed them in
the market place, inquired about their
children, cattle, women.

“Maddest Exaltation”’

With brazen clatter a telegraph machine
spat news of speed and Death, last week,
into the dignified Roman sanctum of Edi-
tor Count Giuseppe Dalla Torre. The
Count publishes L’Osservatore Romano,
the sole daily newsorgan permitted to
speak for the Vatican.

Speed! The wires spat that, near Milan,
on the Grand Prix Course, famed Racing
Driver Antonio Materassi is roaring to
victory at 120 miles per hour. Death!
The car swerves and plunges into the
grandstand. Materassi is killed. So are

21 spectators. Cables flash to the U. S.
that among the 26 injured was one Mrs.
Dorothy Doherty, Bostonian.

When the wires grew quiet, Count Dalla
Torre had leisure and opportunity to con-
fer with Monsignors, Cardinals and even
the Most Blessed Father respecting the
Grand Prix whizz-smash. Two days later
the patient, timeless Papacy made its Most
High Opinion known through Count Dalla
Torre. Printed he:

“Again human victims have been offered
as a sacrifice to the greedy idol of a new
religion, the religion of speed, which fas-
cinates our youth to the extent often of
replacing in their souls their ancient re-
ligion. .. .

“After the racing automobile had cast
in the dust the body of its unhappy driver
and continued to massacre innocent vic-
tims the race was not stopped and the
motors continued their song of speed... .

“. . The new goddess is exalted with
the maddest and most foolish hymns to
become a symbol of national power... .
Meanwhile, true virtues . . . are forgot-
re

“. . Many are no longer content to
arrive, but find it necessary to arrive
quickly. . . . This is the saddest profana-
tion of human life... .”

Deep, no doubt, was the soul prob-
ing, last week, of Fascists, who are pious
Roman Catholics. Daily, Signor Mussolini
demands of the whole Italian Nation that
it “arrive quickly” at his set goals. Yet
last week the Papacy’s official spokesman
not only contradicted // Duce’s orders but
clearly designated him by implication as
“profane’”—for Benito Mussolini travels
about Italy chiefly and by preference at
the wheel of his own low, rakish bellowing
speed car.

GERMANY

Name in Cell

Great names are faces. To read “MUS-
SOLINI” is to receive a potent visual im-
pression. Last week Germans read “STIN-
NES,” and before them arose an unfor-
gettable face (See Cut).

The scare heads said STINNES IN
JAIL. That was only literally true. In a
clean Berlin cell sat only Hugo Hermann
Stinnes Jr.—not his late father STINNES,
the titan who turned his coal and iron
into fleets of ships, miles of factories, myr-
iads of newspaper presses—all, all HIS
(Time, April 21, 1924). In those mighty
days STINNES was the Despot of Ger-
man industry and the Bogey Man of
Europe. .. .

Last week Stinnes sat in a cell. He did
not want to get out. Swindled people
wanted to get in—to smash the runt!

Hugo Hermann Stinnes Jr. is charged
with supplying sharpsters with funds
whereby a bond swindle involving several
million marks was attempted. Clumsy,
they falsified twice as many bonds of a
certain series as were ever issued. Some
people can see through a racket as clever
as that. In cell sat Stinnes. He had been
obliged to resign as president of 17 Stinnes
companies in which U. S. investors have
a stake of $25,000,000.

BULGARIA
Cabinet Busting

Out again, in again, out again, in again:
such was the nerve wracking experience of
Prime Minister Andrei Liapchev, during
the past fortnight (Time, Sept. 17).

Last week his twice fallen Cabinet was
re-formed, after Tsar Boris had called to
his palace and rebuked quarreling, cabinet
busting politicians.
~To them His Majesty said in effect,
according to reliable reports:

“You must support the Cabinet of M.
Liapchev, must! It is necessary that
financiers abroad shall not think that the
Bulgarian Cabinet is always falling, or
they will not lend us the money for which
we can give good and safe security.”

Keen, well informed observers of Bul-
garia deemed that Tsar Boris, able, po-
tent, had spoken the exact truth. Bul-
garian security is good and the country
sound, despite frequent cabinet upsets,
which always seem to end in a resumption
of power by Prime Minister Andrei Liap-
chev.

Tsar v. Cat

Tsar Boris of Bulgaria perhaps did not
hear, at Sofia, last week, that his father,
the abdicated Tsar Ferdinand, was seen in
Vienna to chase a black cat with oaths out
of his hotel bedroom. Other guests testi-
fied that Ferdinand, barefoot, clad in
nightshirt, pursued cat down corridor.

Knowing observers were not surprised.
Ferdinand is a royal mystic, supposed by
superstitious Bulgarian peasants to possess
occult powers. Presumably the Mystic
Tsar had quarreled with his Black Cat, or
someone’s else cat.

Beloved Princess Eudoxia of Bulgaria,
sister and chatelaine of Bachelor Tsar
Boris. was last week, the house guest at
Balmoral, Scotland. of Their Britannic
Majesties. Queen Mary was reported to

5

have baited His Majesty’s hook, last week,
with a worm, in the presence of witnesses.
“She can do it much better than I can,”
was a remark attributed to George V by a
correspondent of the U. S. Luke Lea news-

paper chain.
SWEDEN
King to King

The ominous, grey shape of the Spanish
armored cruiser Principe Alfonso was sil-
houetted, last week, against the white
buildings and brown or reddish towers of
Stockholm, famed “Venice of the North.”

As the Principe Alfonso steamed slowly
in, King Gustaf V of Sweden watched
from a balcony of his immense, square
palace, commanding the lagoon. Came the
slow thunder of a royal salute and its re-
turn. Then the King of All the Swedes and
many a Lapp* descended to greet a tanned
and sprightly Monarch, who soon landed
from the Principe Alfonso. Naturally the
royal visitor was His Most Catholic Maj-
esty Alfonso XIII, King of Spain.

At the ensuing State Banquet a toast
was proposed by His Most Protestant
Majesty Gustaf V to “The first King of
Spain ever to visit Sweden!”

In response, the Spaniard raised his
glass first to Their Swedish Majesties and
then to his own Queen Victoria Eugénie,
who, explained he, was not present, solely
because of ill health. Since Queen Victoria
of Sweden is nearly always indisposed, the
monarchs have that bond in common.
They cemented cordial relations, later in
the week, by indulging together in the
“Royal Sport of Scandinavia,” slaying
moose.

Meanwhile in Spain there stirred the
embers of revolution which always blaze
up when His Majesty leaves the country.
The latest previous outburst was during
Alfonso XIII’s visit to George V (TIME,
July 23). Last week stern Dictator of
Spain Primo de Rivera caused the arrest
of 4,000 persons, many prominent, and
the revolt guttered. Imperturbable, the
Dictator prepared to attend maneuvers of
the Spanish Grand Fleet, off the Mediter-
ranean coast of Spain, a coast which is
notoriously the hotbed of Spanish revolu-

tionaries.
CHINA
Potent Hero

“One Brave Chinese.

“Chang Tsung-chang, off to the Chinese
battlefront, waves good-bye to 20 wives
and concubines, promising to come back
victorious. Anemic Westerners can only
admire Chang’s courage and verve.

“Ladies whom he began marrying young,
when he was a gang coolie, include
Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Russians and
Mongolians. Win or lose, that’s a brave
Chinese.”

Thus exalted famed Hearst columnist-
editor Arthur Brisbane, last week, when
the notorious, cruel, rapacious General
Chang Tsung-chang put his back to the
Great Wall of China and prepared for a

*The King of the rest of the Lapps is Nor-
way’s Haakon VII.

last stand against the immensely superior
armies of the new Chinese Nationalist
Government, which now claims to dom.-
nate all China (Time, Aug. 13).

Within 72 hours Last Stander Chang's
army of 50,000 was put to absolute rout
by Nationalist & Mohammedan General
Pai Chung-hsi, who took 20,000 prisoners,
and barely missed capturing Polygamist
Chang as he fled to Manchuria. Rejoic-
ing was general, for Chang Tsung-chang
is brutal, a thief, a sadist who loves to
lash his prisoners, an old-woman-beater
and a young-woman-despoiler, a murderer,
treacherous, outrageous, godless (TIME,
March 7, 1927). But, as Columnist Bris-
bane remarked, Chang Tsung-chang has
“verve”; and 20 wives and concubines
have not rendered him ‘“‘anemic.’”’ As such
he looms a potent Hearst hero.

Generally speaking, the new Nationalist
State continued to make good its boast of
ruling all China, except Manchuria, last
week. The Manchurian War Lord, Chang
Hsueh-liang continued unable to join the
Nationalists because of his unwilling, en-
forced alliance with Japan.

The U. S., which was first of the Great
Powers to recognize Nationalist China de
facto (Time, Aug. 6) set Oct. 1, 1928 last
week as the tentative date for ceremonies
amounting to recognition de jure. On that
day U. S. Rear Admiral Yates Stirling Jr.
of the U. S. Yangtze River Patrol proposes
to fire a salute, off Nanking, the National-
ist Capital, which will signify that the
U. S. Consulate at Nanking has been re-
opened and normal Sino-U. S. relations
resumed.

Last week a mixed commission was
rapidly adjusting the total sum which
Nationalist China must pay because her
rash soldiery sacked the U. S. Consulate
a year and 2 half ago (Time, April 4,
1927); and there was every prospect that
on Oct. 1, 1928 the salute of U. S. gun-
boats will be returned with alacrity by the
so-called “Chinese navy.”

New Plays in Manhattan

White Lilacs. With appropriate
adaptations of waltz and mazurka, the
Shubert Brothers offered this glib and
pleasant operetta based upon the life
of famed Composer Frederic Francois
Chopin. It stresses the episodes in which
the composer was seen about with George
Sand, meeting her at the home of the
Countess d’ Agoult and playing or griev-
ing with her at Majorca. :

The Operetta is the most romantic spe-
cies of the art of the stage. Hence in White
Lilacs there is not much effort to trace too
accurately the mazy path of history. Nor
is wit important to the operetta, and
White Lilacs puts business before pun.
Guy Robertson (as Chopin), De Wolf
Hopper, Odette Myrtil supply these; the
legitimate copies of the composer’s origi-
nal tunes especially help produce in White
Lilacs an engaging show.

The High Road. Had Author Fred-
erick Lonsdale chosen to write a true and
biting comedy instead of an exceptionally
witty tragedy he might have made The
High Road an even more exciting reitera-
tion of an old theme than he did. His
story is that of an actress loved by an
heir; like the tortoise in the fable, the
actress is the winner.

That such would be the outcome could
be surmised as soon as the older members
of the heir’s family straggled elegantly
into a very British drawing-room, each one
mouthing some prejudicial reason why
no actress should be allowed to scuttle out
of the stage door and under the portcullis.
When the actress, name of Elsie Hilary,
appeared suddenly and without warning in
front of this kangaroo tribunal, she had
only one defender beside her betrothed
scion. This was the Duke of Warrington
who, immediately sensing that the actress
had every intention of breaking her en-
gagement without encouragement from
Lady Minster, Lady Trench, Lord Trench,
Sir Reginald Whelby, Lord Crayle or the
family butler, urged that she be invited to
visit in the gloomy castle until boredom
drove her away from it.

Of course, Elsie Hilary, instead of al-
lowing all the lords and ladies to arouse
her ennui or resentment, aroused in them
a great liking for her. She stirred the Duke
of Warrington to a feeling more ardent
than approval; and since she loved the
Duke, she ended the agreement with her
first lord. But the Duke of Warrington
had an old flame whose husband died at
just this inopportune moment. Elsie Hilary
therefore compelled him to go to her rival
rather than come to her in dishonor. Hav-
ing so neatly forced an opportunity to
show how Elsie Hilary had been trapped
by the absurd codes and customs of the
class in which she had been unwanted,
Author Lonsdale showed instead, and very
prettily, that the actress was the finest
gentleman of them all.

English wit on the Manhattan stage
consists largely of crossing the slang out

British accent. But comic strips can be

Trapped. This melodrama is full of
grisly clichés. Most of the excitement re-
mains on the stage side of the proscenium.

Luckee Girl. Having borrowed their
title from a well-known article of feminine
apparel and the refrain of their best song
(“Come On Let’s Make Whoopee”) from
the works of a well-known drama critic
(Walter Winchell, who, on the ground of
an antique enmity, was denied entrance to
the premiére), the Brothers Shubert were
content to borrow the rest of their second
musical production of the week from a
thousand previous productions of the same
kind. The lucky girl is a midinette who,
after an innocent cohabitation with the
hero in the environs of Montparnasse, al-
most loses him to a sweet and tough coun-
try girl whom his father wishes him to
marry. This difficulty is soon adjusted,
with the aid of a huge funny waiter, played
by Billy House. Billy House moved about
the stage like a grinning Guava jelly, sing-
ing “Whoopee” with suave insinuations.
The girls in the chorus, though they danced
well, looked, with one, or possibly two, ex-
ceptions, as if they had been chosen from
the occupants of an East Side subway car
before the rush hour. The Lief lyrics,
though not Gilbertian, were cheerful; the
music of Maurice Yvain was pleasantly

plentiful.
ee

Night Hostess. It was said of Philip
Dunning, playsmith of Night Hostess, that
he was a losing principal in one of the
numerous fistal engagements which took
place last winter during the speakeasy

season. Whether or not that is true, Play-
smith Dunning knows rackets, racketeers;
specifically, he knows Broadway and
Broadwayfarers, most of whom are in
one racket or another. Not one of their
characters has he gone wide of in portrayal.

Playsmith Dunning has done the sleazy
male racketeer with no abandoned strokes
because for scornful presentation it is
necessary only to be cameractual, phono-
graphic. The rest of the characters look,
smirk and jabber as if they belonged. The
story is that of Buddy Miles, an appar-
ently pure in body—if not in spirit—
miss who is prize sucker-bait at: “‘an ex-
clusive gambling casino.” First to be
hooked is Chris Miller, part-owner of the

gambling-purgatory. Buddy Miles is not
aware that her best friend, Julia, estranged
wife of a detective, was Miller’s mistress,
so when Julia jealously threatened to blab
to Buddy and thereby spoil Miller’s im-
pending amour, Miller strangles his ex-
mistress. Although the piece is called
Night Hostess the principal role is that of
Chris Miller, energetically, realistically
done by Averell Harris.

In the role of Buddy Miles, Ruth Lyons
is pleasantly, innocuously voluptuous.
This is one of the better plays.

NEW METHODS IN MERCHANDISING

Chains and Mergers

Significant to all business interests in the
country is the trend toward national mer-
chandising companies. So rapidly are devel-
opments taking place in the field of national
chain distribution, that retailers and manu-
facturers alike are hard put to it to know
where they stand or where their business is
heading.

Another trend of the times is the consoli-
dation of large companies into still larger
corporations. Scarcely a day passes that
does not furnish the newspapers with the

story of a new merger, actual or rumored.

Manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing, public
utilities . . . Business . . . has nationalized
itself in the last year as never before, under
the stern pressure of economic necessity.

Big concerns operating nationally need
national engineering and building service.
The Austin Company anticipated this need
and prepared for it years ago. Complete
branch offices throughout the country are
equipped to furnish a complete designing
and construction service anywhere, for such
national organizations.

Coast to Coast

For example, Austin is now building at St.
Louis, a three-quarter million dollar ware-
house and bakery for one of the largest
grocery chains. A similar project .or the
same concern is under way at Detroit.

On the West Coast, Austin .:as recently
completed two building projects for a big
food products concern with headquarters
in the East.

For a well known 5, 10 and 25 cent store
chain, three large downtown stores have
been built, one in Ohio and two in the
Pacific Northwest.

Passing from the wholesale and retail
fields to manufacturing, the service of Aus-

SS

tin’s national organization for engineering
and building has demonstrated its value
with equal force. General Electric, Standard
Oil, General Motors, Westinghouse Elec-
tric, American Car & Foundry, U. S. Radia-
tor, Worthington Pump, Henry Disston &
Sons, Grinnell . . . are just a few of the
better known manufacturers who have used
this national building service.

Advantage

Take, for example, a company with head-
quarters in New York desiring to build a
branch plant or warehouse in Seattle or St.
Louis. The executives of the company con-
sult with the Austin office in New York,
preliminary layouts are submitted, cost ap-
proved, contract signed for architectural
design and for actual construction ... the
work is begun immediately by the Austin
organization in the local district, and com-
pleted within the time specified, under bind-
ing guarantees as to time, cost, and quality.

Each of these permanent offices from
Coast to Coast is manned by a trained,
experienced Staff, which enables Austin
to furnish much valuable information on
local conditions, sites, labor, and other essen-
tial data difficult to obtain accurately from
a distance.

A Man and a Method

When Samuel Austin started in business
asa builder more than 50 years ago, he
could scarcely have dreamed of the 2000 and
more great industrial plants that now stand
as witnesses to his organization’s growth and
activity. The fundamental principle of
value given for value received which he laid
down as the cornerstone of the business has
remained unshaken.

A new method of building—Austin Un-
divided Responsibility—was inaugurated by
this company several years ago, the success

of which is indicated by a steadily increasing
volume of business, larger this year than

Branch plant in Los Angeles, designed and built by Austin, one of more than four score

ever before. This Austin Method offers to
the business executive a complete building
service—architectural design, construction
and equipment—by one responsible organi-
zation, which guarantees the entire project.

“... complete designing and construction
service anywhere...”

No longer is it necessary for a manufac-
turer or other executive interested in build-
ing, to engage an architect or engineer, a
general contractor, and various sub-con-
tractors. Austin has combined all these
functions under one head, with a complete
national organization which handles design,
construction and equipment under one con-
tract, and for a lump sum price guaranteed
in advance.

The contract also guarantees in advance
the completion of the project within a speci-
fied short time, and guarantees the quality
of materials and workmanship.

Whether your project be large or small,
simple or complex—a complete plant or a
multi-story commercial building—you are
assured of the same dependable speed and
the same guarantees as to cost and quality,
when Austin builds.

information quickly, wire, phone the nearest

Colleen

Painter Sir John Lavery (who uses
green in his flesh colors) was commissioned
by the Irish Free State Government to
paint a colleen. The painting would be re-
produced on banknotes. Therefore, the
colleen must be “the ideal type of Irish
girlhood.”

Painter Sir John went to his wife whom
he often uses as a model, told her she
would have to sit again, painted her with
a shawl over her head.

Last week the banknotes appeared.
Smart newsmen recognized Sir John’s
model-wife. Irishmen studied their money.
They learned that Lady Lavery is not in
her girlhood, neither is she Irish. She was
the widow of Mr. Edward Livingston
Trudeau of New York when Sir John mar-
ried her 18 years ago. And she is from
Chicago, U. S. A. Irishmen became vexed.

Nor is this the only trouble that side-
burned, spectacled Painter Sir John has
had with portraits of his wife. Observers
recalled that Lady Cunard offered a Lavery
portrait of Lady Lavery to the Tate Gal-
lery in 1923 (Time, Aug. 13, 1923). The
portrait was refused not because of the
subject’s age, not because she was not
Irish. The committee simply did not like
it.

ony of the landscape. Their generous
houses, most white and clean, front on
broad streets with here and there a stretch
of New England common. Their lawns
slope gracefully to the languid river. Such
a village is Stockbridge.

Stockbridge colonists like to tell the
story of their new playhouse, where last
week was held the 20th annual Stock-
bridge Art Exhibit. Twenty years ago,
when Edward L. Morse, son of Telegra-
pher Samuel F. B. Morse, began the tra-
dition of Stockbridge art exhibits, it was
natural that he stepped across the street
from his own “White Lodge” to the Casino
which stood opposite. Like all colonists,
he was proud of the Casino,

Here, until last year, Stockbridge artists
displayed their wares. Dean of the colony,
of course, was Sculptor Daniel Chester
French. Every colonist, every tourist,
knew his Minute Man at Concord, N. H.
It was in his Stockbridge studio that he
modeled the great Lincoln of the Me-
morial at Washington. The design of the
Minute Man was accepted in 1873. Last
week, his daughter, Margaret French Cres-
son, viewed with pride his latest figure in
bronze. It was called Whence, Whither,
Wherefore. As chairman of the exhibition,
Daughter could draw attention to Father’s
fine mastery of detail. But she allowed
others to point out her own bronze portrait

bust of Commander Richard E. Byrd.

Next to the family of French, the family
of Johansen has added most distinction to
the exhibitions in the old Casino. Painter
John Christen Johansen came first to
Stockbridge to visit his good friend Walter
Leighton Clark. Enchanted, he remained
to colonize, paint. Great and friendly is
the rivalry between Painter Johansen and
Painter Jean MacLane. Both rank with
the foremost U. S. portrait painters, whose
canvasses are held bargains at $5,000.

Last week, Painter MacLane exhibited
many a watercolor, and oil portraits of
Mrs. D. Percy Morgan Jr., and of 14-year-
old Samuel F. Thomas, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Finley Thomas of the Stockbridge
colony. Sparkling, vivid with life, this por-
trait attracted particular comment. But
some visitors preferred Painter Johansen’s
study of his 12-year-old son. Not all visi-
tors knew that Painter Johansen and
Painter MacLane are man and wife.

Last year, a crisis came in the affairs
of the Stockbridge art colony. Spinster
Mabel Choate bought the property on
which the Casino stood, and proposed to
erect a memorial to her famed father, Law-
yer-Ambassador Joseph Hodges Choate.
She offered the Casino to anyone who
would cart it away.

Into the breach jumped Colonist Wal-
ter Leighton Clark. A comparative new-
comer to Stockbridge, Colonist Clark had
been a businessman. Not until he was over
50 did he begin to paint. Last week, his
portrait of beautiful Louise Osborne, her-
self a musician and a Stockbridge colonist,
was judged among the best. In 1923, his
growing interest in art led him to found
the Grand Central Art Galleries in the
Manhattan railroad station. He wished to
offer ambitious U. S. artists an opportunity
to exhibit their work without sending it
abroad.

Colonist Clark said he would move the
Casino, transform it into the headquarters
of the Three Arts Association. It should

be dedicated to music, drama, art. He ran
into difficulties. Nervous colonists, fear-
ing for velvety grass, symmetrical trees,
refused to allow him to move it bodily.
Accordingly, he pulled it down and moved
it stick by stick to its new setting farther
down the street. It became the Berkshire
Playhouse.

The Playhouse is very new, very magnifi-
cent for simple Stockbridge. Not even the
familiar sculpture of Master Craftsman
French and the portraits of the Johansens
could altogether take away a sense of
strangeness. Colonists, last week, saw Al-
bert Sterner’s dramatic Lady Macbeth,
the fine portraits by the sisters Emmett:
Lydia Field and Leslie. Sculptor Henry
Augustus Lukeman, successor of John
Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum in chiseling
the heroic Stone Mountain relief, showed
Vanity, a bronze figure of a woman with a
mirror. These were the work of the native
colonists.

But others were not so familiar. Colo-
nist Clark had drawn on the resources of
his Manhattan gallery. In the old Casino
days, only the colonists took their master-
pieces to the exhibitions. Last week, many
an artist was represented whose connec-
tion with Stockbridge had been a fleeting
visit to the Berkshires.

The twentieth Stockbridge Art Exhi-
bition was more glittering, more splendid,
than the first or the nineteenth. But some
few colonists looked a little wistfully at
their hills, their peaceful river. For 20
years, they had known what they liked.
They were-not quite certain that they liked
change.

AERONAUTICS
(Continued from p. 13.)

answered with a little diatribe on the ad-
vantages of aviation. “The running ex-
penses come to $15 per week at maxi-
mum. ... My wife and I haven’t been
in a train all year. . . . If you see an in-
teresting tower or castle on the horizon,
even if it is 20 or 30 miles away, you can
go over and have a look at it. If you are
flying over the seashore, you can fly low
and watch people bathing. That is the
kind of thing we propose doing. It doesn’t
matter if it takes us off our course. We
will find it right away again.”

You can’t make a hero out of a gentle-
man who talks like that. The Vicomte de
Sibour and the Vicomtesse climbed into
their little plane and started off for some
little town in the Pyrenees where they ex-
pected to stay a few days.

Also starting from England on a round
the world aerial tour was George H. Storck
of Jacksonville, Fla., and Seattle, Wash., in
a 30h. p. Avro-Avian seaplane.

Flights, Flyers
@ Air travel drew a step closer to rail
travel when Mr. & Mrs. D. J. Sullivan in
St. Paul, Minn., bought a ticket for Roch-
ester, Minn., climbed into a plane, en-
joyed the scenery for an hour, inquired
about landing time. “Rochester!” ex-
claimed the one addressed. “Why you’re
on the plane for Chicago.”

@ The ship-to-shore mail plane catapulted
from the liner Jle ‘de France, flown by

Naval Lieut. Louis Demougeot, forced
down at sea, was rescued by the British
trawler Children’s Friend. Temporarily
the ship-shore service has been discon-
tinued.

@ A marine pilot, Capt. Howard, flying
over Nicaragua involuntarily came to earth
near La Luz mine on the east coast. His
pontoon dug into the earth, ploughed a
furrow. Corporal George Cole left to
guard the plane, whiled away the time by
panning out $100 worth of gold from a
vein thus exposed.

Biggest

Nearing completion last week at Bristol,
Pa., were four 20-passenger, all-metal
monoplanes, to be the largest in the U. S.,
smaller only than a few German planes.

They are equipped with luxurious trap-
pings, hot and cold running water, sleep-
ing compartments, radio sets, spacious
windows. The go-foot wing spread will
lift, beside fuel and passengers, 1,000
pounds of baggage. The three Wright
Cyclone motors will propel this load at
an average 130 m. p. h. for four and one-
half hours, could if necessary attain 155
m. p. h., climb 16,100 feet. Edgar M. Gott,
president of the Keystone Aircraft Corp.,
has for the last two months kept the con-
struction of these monsters a secret.

At Mines Field

Two months ago, in a field, not far from
Los Angeles, Calif., they were harvesting
barley. Then came hordes of men bearing
tons of wood, truck loads of nails, 9,000
barrels of oil, 2,000,000 gallons of water,
The wood and nails they made into a
grandstand (capacity 17,000) into an ex-
position building, ultra modern, larger
than a city block. The oil and water they
sprinkled on the field so that whirling
hundreds of propellers would not raise a
dust.

Last week the National Air carnival at
Mines field reached its climax. A Navy
aviator climbed 10,000 feet in four-and-a-
half minutes. An Army flier, Lieut. J. J.
Williams was killed in formation stunt
flying, Col. Charles Augustus Lindbergh
teok his place, continued Immelman turns,
loops, barre] rolls. But a Navy trio gave
a superior exhibition of stunts.

In the exposition hall were 300 brightly
colored booths, housing nearly every de-
sign of plane or accessory on the market.
A professor demonstrated a fool-proof self-
landing, self-balancing plane, dubbed “the
flying pickle.”

There were many races, the most im-
portant of which was the non-stop trans-
continental derby. Col. Arthur Goebel in
a Wasp-motored Lockhead-Vega Yankee
Doodle was the first to arrive. But he won
no prize because he had stopped once to
refuel. Even so his time from New York
to Los Angeles was a record; 23 hours,
50 minutes. The other entrants in the race
had been forced down. Col. William Thaw
seriously injured, had said before starting
on the race: “I’m fat, I'll bounce.”

The carnival was attended by 400,000

75,000 on the last day). Five million
dollars worth of airplanes were sold. A
statue of Col. Lindbergh was always a
centre for a crowd.

Last year he was barred by the Mary-

tracks, for fouling a favorite.

Last week, Earl Sande retired from
active racing on the day that the Futurity,
the only great race he never won, was run.
Sande rode, according to the records, 941
winners and about 4,000 mounts in the
course of his ten-year racing career. He
married the niece of Sam Hildreth, trainer
| for Rancocas Stable; he has saved his

rider, he announced his intention of own-
ing, training, and no longer riding horses,
and last week was lauded in these terms
by Joseph E. Widener, his present em-
ployer:

“T wish to congratulate you on your
honorable career. You have never done
anything that brought dishonor to a grand
and noble sport. I wish you every success
in your new vocation.”

Said Sande, speaking of a favorite horse,
“He was an honest fellow. .. .”

Jiu Jitsu .

In Sao Paulo, Brazil, last week, a one-
ring circus was held. At the end of circus,
as a final and most brilliant attraction, a
wrestling match was arranged between a
gigantic nameless Bahian Negro and a
small, engaging Jap, name unknown.
After a few minutes wrestling, the black
Bahian had the Jap on his back; but the

Jap rolled over, snickering, and at the end
| of the wrestling he was sitting like a prime
minister upon the dark and heaving stom-
| ach of his adversary.

The fight was important, not because

SPORT

the contestants were famous, but because
they used different and interesting styles
of wrestling. The Bahian lout fought after
the manner of Brazilian capoeira. This is
the national style of fighting; it includes
blows as well as grips and it was perfected,
as might be imagined, by a huge band of
Hoodlums who once terrorized Rio de
Janeiro. Even kicks in the head are al-
lowed and the Bahia Negro attempted
these, without avail, against his little foe-
man.

The Jap, too, used a style of combat
peculiar to his nation; Jiu Jitsu, the gentle
and famous art of making an opponent
use his strength to encompass his own de-
feat. For 3,000 years the Japanese have
used this graceful and economical method
of self defense. Jiu Jitsu must not be
compared or confused with another often
pictured species of Japanese wrestling,
somewhat like capoeira, in which two
400-lb. bullies stand face to face and each
endeavors mainly by pulling at the sparse
clothing of his adversary to topple him
over. Jiu Jitsu requires enormous train-
ing; Jap boys rise early to practice it be-
fore taking cold baths. Occidentals, while
they will never be as good as lithe little
yellow wrestlers, may become proficient by
virtue of talent and application. President
Roosevelt loved Jiu Jitsu and recom-
mended that it be taught in West Point
and Annapolis.

Racketeers

For several years there was very little
doubt about who would win the National
Singles Championship at Forest Hills,
L. I. Tilden would swing lazily through
the first rounds; in the third and fourth
rounds it became easier to see that he
would win the last. In late afternoon
matches his huge shadow would creep and
flicker toward the club-house. By the time
his opponent’s shadow was in the middle of
the press marquee, Tilden’s shadow had
gone upstairs. It was a terrifying shadow,
with steps like dark lightning, enough to
frighten any opponent.

This year, Tilden, suspended from ama-
teur play for writing signed articles, at-
tended the matches in a grey suit after
he had left the vaudeville theatre where
he was doing a turn. Henri Cochet was
picked to win and would have been even if
Tilden had been playing. Nevertheless, the
tournament was a series of upsets.

In the first round Dr. George A. King
took three straight sets from John Hen-
nessey who has been regarded as the best
of the U. S. amateurs, in this melancholy
season.

The next round proceeded without un-
toward victories and defeats. Cochet,
waggling his head from time to time as if
he were baffled by the problem of what to
have for dinner, put little Junior Coen out
of the running.

Four of the eight matches in the third
round were upsets. Hunter beat “Bound-
ing Basque” Borotra, 0-6, 5-7, 6-0, 6-4.
6-2. Australian Jack Crawford eliminated
John Van Ryn, Princeton star. Brugnon
beat Dr. King who had slumped after his
match with Hennessey. Disconcerted,

50% of the people who buy radio
this year will discard two, three and

These shrewd observations by deal-
ers is substantiated in the Crosley

Officials recently stated that busi-

last year. With wild cat radio years
long past this reflects trend sensed by
live retailers.

Demand today for Crosley radio has

proximity to their assembly in radio
Sets.

Yet floors below an automatic paint-

quick distribution of material saves a

Every day sees a second clipped off

experts constantly reduce labor cost
which is reflected in the low prices of
$65 and $80 for radio that out-per-

prices. Girls are studied at their work

admitted that he might. Shields didn’t.
In the finals, Hunter met Cochet

Hunter came out first; Cochet seemed
to be nervous as they stood in front of
the cup for the camera men. Hunter went
through the first set, Cochet took the sec-
ond, Hunter the third. After the five-
minute rest, Cochet came out in a knitted
shirt, his eyes looking huge and tired in
his little pale face. He spurted five games;
Hunter caught him; Cochet took the set
and then, speeding up his game to some-
where near its peak, the last one. The
scores: 4-6, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3.

Princeton. Even these had begun to grunt
and exercise last week. While speculation
as to which would be most imposing later
in the season is properly confined to bar-
rooms in college clubs and the writings of
Grantland Rice, alert prognosticators
fixed their attention upon the coaches. Of
these, the most interesting is Marvin Allen
(‘‘Mal’’) Stevens who has replaced famed
“Tad” Jones of Yale. Brown, lithe and
shy. “Mal” Stevens played for Yale in
1923 on famed ‘‘Memphis Bill’ Mallory’s
undefeated team; before that he had
played for Washburn college, in Kansas.
In his senior year at Yale he was ineli-
gible; later, he was wont to divide his time
between medical school and backfield
coaching. Last year he was Jones’s assist-
ant; this year he is the youngest of the
important coaches and, since in footbail
the cart goes before the horse, not the
least likely to draw his team to Novem-
ber triumphs.

As usual, there is a pother about the
new rules and an argument as to how they
shall be interpreted.

These are, in the last analysis, of small
consequences and too intricate to explain
without generally unintelligible technicali-
ties. A far more important consideration is
the continued and preposterous refusal of
Athletic Associations at Yale, Harvard,
Princeton and certain other colleges to
provide proper facilities fgr unfortunate
newspaper reporters who are compelled to
sit on top of the windy stadiums, fumbling
telegraph instruments with frozen thumbs.

Amateur Clubmen

The Brae Burn course, where the Na-
tional Amateur Golf Championship was
decided last Week, lies in the shape of a
green diminutive South America among
the neat suburban back yards of West
Newton, Mass. It is a hard course, harder
than it was nine years ago for the National
Open. In the qualifying rounds, no one
broke 70 and 157 was good enough to get
into the play-offs. George Voigt, playing
in a green sweater and bright green stock-

September 24, 1928

ings, slouched around the course last week
with a cheerful, sarcastic expression and
won the medal with 143.

In the first day of match-play, five
former champions—Von Elm, Marston,
Sweetser, Ouimet, and Chick Evans—were
put out of the tournament. Voigt, after
beating Sweetser, played through the
quarter finals to meet Phil Perkins, the
British Walker Cup Captain, in the semi-
finals. Bobby Jones, playing better every
day, after going to an extra-hole to elim-
inate Gorton, the home-club entrant, beat
John Beck 14 and 13.

The day of the semi-finals Jones fin-
ished his morning round g up; after lunch,
while Voigt and Perkins started out, he
stood on the practice tee driving ball
after ball through exactly the same trajec-
tory far down the fairway to where two
caddies waited to pick them up. After ev-
ery perfect drive, Jones’ face grew darker.
Then he went out on the course and
played six more holes with Phil Finlay, a
shaky, hard-hitting Harvard boy; by this
time he had won his match, 13 up and 12
to play.

Voigt and Perkins were fighting it out a |
little harder. The gallery was rooting for |
the quiet lanky Lancashireman, who never |

spoke except to his caddie whom he called
“laddie.”” They saw Voigt go one down in
the morning round; in the afternoon,
Voigt lost the sixth hole when his ball
landed.in a brook at the foot of the green.
He kept on losing holes after that and the
match was over on the 14th after they
both played in from the rough around the
green to halve the hole. Perkins, for the
first time since he had started his after-
noon round, threw away his cigaret with-
out lighting another. They walked back to
the club house in a drizzle; Perkins carried
an umbrella with a bamboo handle while
his caddy walked in the rain, eating an
apple.

The first hole at Brae Burn is 337 yards
with a brook at the depth of the fairway,
just below the green. Smart golfers use
an iron from the tee for a long pitch to the
green rather than take a chance on driving
into the brook. When Jones and Perkins
went out to play their match, Perkins took
an iron out, Jones took a wooden club—
and a six for the hole to Perkins’ four.
Perkins was one up until the fourth; then
Tones evened the match. At the end of the
morning round, Jones was 6 up; at the end
of the match, on the ninth green that after-
noon, he was ro up. Perkins threw away
his cigaret again and walked over to shake
hands, saying in his high, polite voice,
“Well played, Mr. Jones.” Bobby Jones,
winning his fourth national amateur tour-
nament in five years, smiled for a moment
and then he looked strained and tired as
he had looked hitting practice drives be-

fore the second round in his semi-final.

If Jones on the final green at Brae Burn
was thinking of future tournaments in
which he must try to achieve the perfec-
tion which he can never much more nearly
approximate than he does now, he might
have envisaged himself as a chubby and
more cheerful old fellow, winning the U. S.
Senior Golf Championship. One such,
Charles H. Walker, 61, last week won this
tournament at Rye, N. Y., with a score
of 158 for 36 holes,

SCIENCE

At Swampscott

The American Chemical Society met,
last week, at Swampscott, Mass., for their
76th convention. Members discussed:

Chemistry’s Value. Samuel Wilson
Parr, 71, preceptor of the group of bril-
liant chemists and physicists at the Uni-
versity of Illinois, and president of the
chemistry society, opened the meeting
with the survey usual at such affairs:
“Output of chemical products in this
country have advanced in 50 years from
an insignificant sum to more than $2,000,-
.. Thisisa
chemical age, and we live, move and have
our physical being as a result of chemical
processes. Whether we travel on foot in
chrome-tanned shoes and rayon stockings
or roll to work on rubber wheels and con-
crete roads, we travel in comfort by chem-
ical grace and good-will. If we land in the
hospital, the chemist has anticipated our
coming. He is there before us with anti-
septics, anesthetics and remedial agents
for the relief of suffering and the restora-
tion of health.”

Pea Pods. Asses, even the mock-ass
Bottom of A Midsummer Night’s Dream,

| enjoy eating peas, pods and all. Other live

stock also find them delectable. Humans
like the green seeds, but not the pods. Yet
the pods contain valuable sugar and pro-

| teins. How to make them humanly palat-

able is a job which the U. S. Department
of Agriculture’s bureau of chemistry has
set for itself.

Pituitary Hormones. Pituitrin, ex-

| tract of the hazelnut-like gland at the

underside of the brain, does three things to
a body: 1) it causes powerful contractions

| of the pregnant uterus at term (its oxy-
| tocic effect); 2) it makes blood pressure

(its pressor effect); 3) it increases urinary
flow where urine is scanty and decreases
it where the flow is inordinately great, as

| in diabetes insipidus (its diuretic-anti-
| diuretic effect).

So there must be more
than one hormone in the pituitary gland,
decided Dr. Oliver Kamm, director of
Parke, Davis & Co.’s research laborato-
ries. By tedious fractional precipitation of
pituitrin he has been able to separate two
hormones—oxytocin useful in obstetrics,

| vasopressin useful in keeping up normal

blood pressure during certain operations,

| useful too against diabetes insipidus. Dr.

Kamm reasons that the danger from burns
comes from the boiling of water out of the
skin and flesh, and the failure of the body
to replace that water effectively. His vas-
opressin he believes may stimulate the
body to repair the water shortage of

burns.

Tuberculosis. Some tentative research
done on tuberculosis bacteria at Yale may
have deep importance towards wiping out
the disease. The chemists there have made
a fatty acid from living tubercle bacilli.
The acid is new to science. When it is
injected into rabbits it produces in their
bodies the nodules peculiar as symptoms
of tuberculosis, but of no other disease.
Said R. J. Anderson of Yale: “This dis-

covery, that a non-living substance may
be the cause of tubercular growth, opens
up an entirely new mode of approach in
the search for an immunizing agent. In

the past there has been no way of proving
whether the growth of the tubercle in

tubercular organisms was the result of di-
rect action of the living bacillus.”

Nitrogen. Every square mile of air
over the earth’s surface carries 20,000,000
tons of nitrogen. Each 20,000,000 tons, if
reduced by man to nitrates, would supply
the world for 12 years at the present rate
of nitrogen consumption. Twenty years
ago mankind took only 1% of its needed
nitrogen from the air; the rest came chiefly
from mineral nitrates. Last year 57% of
the world’s supply came from the air. This
situation makes chemists aver that nitro-
gen has taken the most important place in
the affairs of the world and is by far the
most active in the world’s markets.

Engine Pinking. No one yet knows
what causes the pink-pink knock in gaso-
line motors. Increased compression im-
proves efficiency and speed; it also causes
a knock. So there is a deadlock in the
design of light, high-speed engines for
automobiles and airplanes. Anti-knock
gasoline adulterants, like tetra-ethyl lead,
help reduce the pinking, but why no one
knows. Scientists are trying to learn why
through a study of flame action, a subject
little attended to in the past.

Textiles. Significant was the recom-
mendation made by Chairman Harrison
Estell Howe of the National Research
Council that “the New England textile
manufacturers should get a committee of
industrial chemists to study the funda-
mentals and tel] them what science can do
for the industry.” The manufacturers
have been wailing over the decline of their
business, have applied themselves to
remedying conditions chiefly through
pools, merchandising and economic wakes.

U. S. Steel Corp., chemists were amazed
to learn, has the vast number of 2,115
technical men working on steel problems
and tests in 179 laboratories. At Lorain,
Ohio, the corporation is turning a large
steel mill into an experimental laboratory.

A Clam Bake with plenty of condi-
ments, drink and talk, held at Gloucester
near Swampscott, was the jolly end of the
meeting.

Television

In a General Electric laboratory at
Schenectady last fortnight people peered
at the small 3” x 3” screen of Dr. Ernst
Frederik Werner Alexanderson’s television
receiving set. They were waiting for the
performance of the first playlet broadcast
by television. It was J. Hartley Manners’
The Queen’s Messenger. There being only
two parts, there were only two actors:

The screen glowed pinkishly; a loud
speaker in the same room susurrated. A
human head appeared on the screen, tiny
and wraith-like; its lips moved; simulta-
neously the loud speaker squawked words.
Another head appeared; more words.
Hands replaced heads, gestured, poured a
liquid, shot a gun, wound a watch; the
speaker gurgled, crashed, crackled.

The whole performance was gawky.

Yet it pleased Dr. Alexanderson and his
guests, for it was another demonstration

September 24, 1928

that television would some day become
practical.*

General Electric and Westinghouse, who
are working hard to hasten the commer-
cialization of television, have a great fear
—that the public may gull itself about this
new entertainment. Last week Westing-
house’s Vice President H. P. Davis
warned: “Television, in so far as present
accomplishments warrant, has been ‘over-
played.’ . . . Unfortunately, this has cre-
ated the opportunity to foist on the public,
much as in the early days of radio, a wide-
spread sale of unsuitable apparatus, which
those who purchase naturally expect will
permit them to view television broadcasts,
but which will only lead to disappointment
and dissatisfaction. ... The gawkish
period in the development of television
should be passed in the laboratories.”

General Electric’s Manager of Broad-
casting Martin P. Rice was somewhat less
admonitory: “The experimenter should
guard well against ignorant or unscrupu-
lous dealers... . With many hundreds
dabbling in the new art, there is reason to

expect that the record of television will
parallel that of radio broadcasting.”. . .

Already television producers have dis-
covered that a certain type of person ap-
pears best before their machines. Speci-
fications :

Red hair, long and preferably wavy;

Large, limpid eyes of a light color,
preferably blue;

Perfect teeth;

Cameo features of distinctiveness, so
that in profile and in full view each will
stand out clear-cut and on its own merits;

A voice suitable for radio broadcasting.

Blue Monkeys, Yellow Rats

In Germany, whose scientists have the
world’s reputation for thoroughness, the
Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Breeding
Science last week put on an exhibition.
Present were blue monkeys, yellow rats,
kinky-haired rabbits, 40,000 varieties of
dandelions. Selective cross breeding had
caused the weird results. Apparently

species of animals and plants can be
changed at man’s will or nature’s chance.

en
X-rayed Eggs

From an obscure corner of practical
scientific experiment, one Paul R. Had-
ley, chicken rancher of Fanwood, N. J.,
last week published the amazing report of
his X-raying chicken eggs.

By submitting eggs from any breed of
chicken to the X-rays generated by 10,000
to 40,000 volts of electricity he produces
pullets in every case.t They are immune
to fowl diseases; they grow 40% faster
than poults from untreated eggs.

A formal scientific explanation of the
X-rays’ effects on eggs is now being pre-
pared by Professor W. R. Graham of the
Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Ont.

*A description of the Alexanderson—G, E.
device appeared in Tre, Jan. 23. A description
of another device, the Conrad—Westinghouse,
appeared in Time, Aug. 20.

Yelloway-Pioneer

Philadelphians had the right to be down-
right vexed last week. For a month the
transcontinental bus system projected last
summer (TIME, June 4) and now named
Yelloway-Pioneer System had been oper-
ating between Los Angeles and Philadel-
phia. But the country was told very little
of the accomplishment. Last week the bus
system was extended to Manhattan, 3,433
highway miles from Los Angeles, and there
was much to-do. A Mrs. C. A. Jondro of
Los Angeles, one of the four persons who
made the whole journey (in 5 days, 14
hours), declared the ride more comfortable
than by train and “more chummy... .
We had a portable radio and perfect serv-
ice all the way.”

Fisher Brothers

Twenty years ago the Fisher brothers
organized their motor car body business as
a Michigan corporation. It prospered col-
laterally with the motor industry. Two
years ago Fisher Body’s net tangible assets
were practically $90,000,000. General
Motors, their chief customer, had by that
time acquired three-fifths of their stock;
the Fisher brothers owned most of the
rest. Finally they traded all their holdings
to General Motors for General Motors
stock.

Now Charles T. Fisher is a G. M. vice
president and director; so too, Fred J.
Fisher. Lawrence P. Fisher is a director
and president of the G. M.’s Cadillac di-
vision, William A. a director and president
of the Fisher Body division. The $36,000,-

ooo G. M. stock that they received for
thei. business has increased manyfold
from G. M. extra dividends and stock

split-ups and stock market offers.

What to do with their wealth? Fred J.
Fisher apparently took the lead. He went
into the stock market. On a large scale,
he bought shares of various corporations.
Financial writers began calling him a spec-
ulator. They linked him with Arthur W.
Cutten of Chicago, an out-&-out, but se-
cretive market operator. They compared
him with William Crapo Durant, ousted
founder of General Motors and now one
of the shrewdest, hardest hitting enerators
in Wall Street.

But Fred J. Fisher, canny, was buying
his stock with keen purpose. Revelation
came last year when hard-bitten President
Samuel M. Vauclain of Baldwin Locomo-
tive roared that he would let no “outsider”
on to Baldwin Locomotive’s board of di-
rectors. Fred J. Fisher (and Arthur W.
Cutten) made little rebuttal. But at the

next Baldwin Locomotive board meeting
Fred J. Fisher was truculently made a di-
rector (also Mr. Cutten). He controlled
sufficient stock (as did Mr. Cutten) to
force his election as director.

Someone has been buying heavily into
Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing
stock. That someone seems to be Fred J.
Fisher. But not yet has he done anything
overt towards entry into the corporation’s
directorate.

But he did not wait long to make felt
the influence of his recent investments in
New York Central. For last week the New
York Central directors who control
N. Y. C.’s most important subsidiary, the
Big Four (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago
& St. Louis Railway), elected Fred J.
Fisher a Big Four director. It was freely
predicted he would become a N. Y. C.
director next month.

Moneymarket

Manhattan banks raised interest rates
on go-day loans to 7%, threatened even
higher rates if the demand were heavy. In
only three of the last thirty years, and not
since the deflation days of 1921, had time
money been so high. Many were the
grumblers. Among the loudest, most bit-
ter, was Columnist Arthur Brisbane, who
is first a businessman, then a reporter.

Columnist Brisbane did more than
grumble. He sneered: “Borrowers should
send three large gilt balls to be hung above
the Federal Reserve Bank entrance, and
similar ornaments to some of the big
banks.” He threatened: “This is what the
law of New York State says, Section 370:
‘The legal rate of interest shall not be
more than $6 on $100 for one year.’ Every
bank charging more than 6% interest is
violating the law and knows it.

“. . When men extort eight per cent
for loans on absolutely good security,
somebody ought to go to jail, beginning
with the responsible respectability in the
Federal Reserve.”

But Manhattan’s bankers failed to
tremble. They answered neither sneers nor
threats. Had they wished, however, they
might have said: “We charge no more
than the legal 6% interest rate. The addi-
tional 1% is a carrying fee, to compensate
us for our trouble in carrying the account.”
This was, of course, one of many current
evasions of the law’s letter.

Condiment Crises

Traditionally inseparable are salt and
pepper.* All laymen recognize their union,
their happy partnership. Few laymen
realize their fundamental differences. Salt
is a mineral; pepper a vegetable. Salt is

| and futures, are short when the time of de-

| steadily down. (Time, Sept. 17.) But the

price of pepper is soaring, rocketlike, to
record heights.

Pepper, a seed, is picked from a 40-foot
vine, growing up the trunk of a tree, or
around a low hut. There are two seasons,
two sources. From Telok Betong in Dutch
East India are harvested each July be-

| tween 10,000 and 24,000 tons of pepper

seeds known as Lampong. Alleppy and

| Tellicherry pepper comes from India and

is harvested in December. Before they
are used for seasoning, the seeds are
ground, packed in tin boxes, and given a
label. But whether Lampong, Alleppy or

| Tellicherry vines bore it, whether bought

in an exclusive delicatessen shop or in
the Great Atlantic & Pacific tea store, no
matter what the box or price, all pepper
tastes alike.

The 1927 crop of Lampong was far be-
low normal. This year’s crop, not yet de-
livered, is only about 15,000 tons. Spice
traders (pepper is the most important of
trading in spot pepper

livery arrives. They must get pepper at
any price to fulfill contracts. They must
draw from the surplus Alleppy and ~elli-
cherry in India and in England, and pay
dearly. Prices rise. From a normal price
of 12¢ a pound, pepper quotations have
risen to 43¢. Brokers prophesied last week

| that a high of 40¢ would be touched before

the December crop of Alleppy and Telli-
cherry is shipped in February or March.

Harlem Bank

Typographically uninteresting, written
in the stiff, undeviating style of all worthy
financial announcements, an advertisement,
which measured 84 inches long, three col-
umns wide, made known last week without

| obvious effort to do so, that John Davison

Rockefeller III had made his début on a
directorate. Said the notice, printed in
Manhattan dailies: “To serve adequately
the banking needs of the Harlem section of
New York City, the Dunbar National Bank
of New York . . . will open for business
September 17, 1928.” It said the bank
was “established particularly to serve the
business and personal banking interests
of Harlem’s Negro population.”

Tucked away in the alphabetical list of
directors in agate type was the name, John
D. Rockefeller III. Ignorant of one of
the pet Rockefeller philanthropies, a su-
perficial observer might wonder why a
Rockefeller, a Herbert Lee Pratt (Stand-
ard Oil), a Henry Elliott Cooper (Equi-

| table Trust Co.), should be interested in a

comparatively puny bank whose capital

National Bank for his son’s first financial
activity.* The Paul Laurence Dunbar
Apartments, named for the Negro poet
(1872-1906), and built by Rockefeller
money, will house the bank.

The significance af Rockefeller Jr.’s
choice of the Dunbar National Bank is in
the long list of gifts which he has made
toward the betterment of Negroes. Tuske-
gee, Hampton and Fiske have been given
many a million; the Spelman Seminary,
Negro girls’ school in Atlanta, Ga., another
beneficiary, gives a leading clue to Rocke-
feller Jr.’s largess. Rockefeller Jr.’s ma-
ternal grandmother was an eager opponent
of slavery, helped form a link in the under-
ground railway which slipped escaping
slaves to freedom. Rockefeller Jr.’s
mother was Laura C. Spelman; in honor of
the Spelman family the Atlanta school was
founded.

President of the Dunbar National Bank
is Joseph D. Higgins, 36 years a banker,
onetime (1914-23) Federal Reservist, for-
mer vice president of the American Ex-
change-Irving Trust Co. There is one
Negro on the directorate. He is Harvard-
graduated Roscoe Conkling Bruce, son of
the haar Roscoe Conkling Bruce, onetime
U. S. Senator from Louisiana.

to buy Stanley Co. of America (exhibitors
with more than 3,000 cinema houses under
control). The absorption is a $100,000,000
affair.

The deal is of vital importance to War-
ner Brothers. They were the pioneers in

the production of sound-pictures, which

Brothers have had very few houses of their

Last year, A. T. & T. viewed its experi-

ment in trans-Atlantic telephones with |

misgivings. Few businessmen, tourists,
picked up receivers and said “London,
please,” or “New York, please.” Costly,
difficult, the New York-London service
seemed about to fail.

But last week, A. T. & T. came to the
end of its misgivings, announced it would
not only continue the two present long
wave circuits* but would open additional

short-wave circuits from transmitting sta- |

tions to be built near Trenton, N. J. Calls
in the first eight months of 1928 were three
times the total of Jan—Aug., 1927. The
124-hour service has been lengthened to
144 hours. Now connected with the trans-
Atlantic circuit are Great Britain, Ger-
many, Switzerland, Antwerp, Brussels,
Berlin, Paris, Copenhagen, Oslo, Malmo,
Stockholm and eight Mexican cities. The
latest extension, completed last fortnight,
carries the service to Guadalajara, Mexico.

tapped, your conversation is overheard
only by operators. But when you tele-
phone Europe, your words may be caught
by any enterprising amateur radiodict who
chances to tune in on A. T. & T.’s wave
length.

Such an amateur did overhear, last
week, part of a conversation between the
“biggest” National City Bank and its
Berlin agent. The conversation concerned
another famed banking house, Brown
Bros., with which National City was linked
in a German financing deal. From the
eavesdropping amateur there came to
Brown Bros. a transcript of the talk.
Brown Bros. did not like the National City
talk. Puzzled, Brown Bros. asked expla-
nations. National City, astonished, gave
them. Still friends, still associates, the
two banks resolved upon more cautious,
coded communications.

Every hostess knows that delicious
coffee is the crowning touch of din-
ner—the late supper, the evening
party. Yet so many people have been
forced to give up coffee at night be-
cause it disturbs their rest.

Now these people can enjoy won-
derful coffee—safely—at any hour.
Kaffee Hag—a blend of the world’s
finest coffees—has 97 % of the drug
caffeine removed. It gt ni all of
coffee’s delightful flavor and aroma,
with nothing to affect sleep or nerves.

No wonder this is such welcome
news to every woman who entertains,
or whose home folks cannot enjoy a
friendly cup of coffee at night.

Substitutes could never satisfy the
true coffee lover. Only Kaffee Hag
can delight the thousands who want
coffee, but not caffeine.

This was 36,108 cars more than during

93-year Flame. From 1835 until last
week a mighty flame burned continually
at a New Orleans artificial gas plant.
Cheaper natural gas became available. So
the 93-year flame was at last smothered.

Kroger Grocery & Baking Co. now
has 4,605 stores—by purchase last week
of 125 B. C. Thomas stores and 41 K. & B.
stores at Grand Rapids, Mich. At the
same time Kroger’s bought a Grand
Rapids creamery, a bakery and a real es-
tate company.

Wheat. Renick William Dunlap, Act-
ing Secretary of Agriculture, warned
farmers not to sell their wheat crop too
hastily. The northern hemisphere is rais-
ing 2,873,000 bushels of wheat this fall.
This is a trifle more than last year. But
the world’s rye crop is 92,000,000 bushels
less than last year; the potato crop will be
less; Russia probably will have no wheat
to export; people are demanding more
wheat (as flour) than ever before.

Autos & Planes. Continental Motors
has begun to make motors for airplanes.
Ford, Packard and Auburn have long
been connected with flying, General
Motors not at all. Yet the du Ponts have
given financial backing to Guiseppe Bel-
lanca, plane designer. And the du Ponts
are a large part of General Motors. So
the industrial surmise is not so wild that

| General Motors will soon make airplanes

and equipment.

Exported Autos. The American Auto-
mobile last week published its survey of
the U. S. automotive industry’s exports
for the first half of this year. Motor cars
and trucks exported numbered 260,072
(44,837 more than in the first half of
1927); were worth $184,687,815. Tires:
1,344,000 (225,072 fewer than last year).
Parts: $55,318,127 worth ($1,152,428
gain). Best car customer was Australia;
best truck customer, Argentina.

5-Cent Loaves. Atlantic & Pacific chain
stores in and around New York began to
sell 1-lb. loaves of bread for 5¢. They also

| sold 2-lb. loaves for 8¢. Wherever freight

rates on flour from Minneapolis are as
cheap as to Manhattan, there A. & P. will
sell loaves as cheaply. Other stores will
doubtless follow.

Gold Movement. Because. five hundred
million dollars of gold had been shipped
away from the U. S. this year, the ship-
ment of $2,500,000 from England to the
U. S. last week, was memorable. It was
the first time in more than a year that
such movement had happened. Interest
rate on loans is the cause. Money in New
York cost 7% to 8%, in London 44%;
and money goes where it earns most.

Steel. Neat ingot after neat ingot will
have come out of the U. S. steel mills
48,000,000 times ‘before the year has
ended, predicted J. R. Nutt, president of
the Union Trust Company of Cleveland,
last week, in Trade Winds, his bank’s mag-
azine. Automobiles, building and railroad
equipment and petroleum industry doings
will cause the mills to produce 1,000,000
more ingots than were pressed in 1926, the

In most preparatory schools yearly
changes consist of a few new faces on the
faculty and perhaps some broken ground
for a building. Significant changes have
generally remained subtle.

Nevertheless, last week, some changes
proved of interest.

At St. Paul’s in New Hampshire, an en-
larged chapel, a new dining hall, gift of
late Henry Chalfant, a manual training
shop from Mr. John E. Barbour.

At Lawrenceville in New Jersey, the loss
(for a year) of Novelist-Professor Thorn-
ton Niven Wilder, writing a novel in Eng-
land, tramping with a friend; the gain of
ten new Masters.

At Choate in Connecticut, greater stress
on Music & Art.

At Hotchkiss in Connecticut, a new in-
firmary, a pointing of the way to much
needed, much neglected medical surveil-
lance in preparatory schools.

Similarly at Taft in Connecticut, a new
infirmary.

Similarly at Kent in Connecticut, a new
resident doctor.

At Hill in Pennsylvania,
master.

At Mercersburg in Pennsylvania, a new
headmaster, Dr. Boyd Edwards, former
headmaster of The Hill School, succeeding
the late Dr. William Mann Irvine.

a new head-

Dr. Harry J. Wieler, the Hotchkiss resi-
dent physician, last week began his second
year as director of the year-old Medical
Department. Observers saw in him a sym-
bol. He marked the end of ignorance and
carelessness in the medical departments of
preparatory schools. Hotchkiss earned
praise last week for its organized, efficient
medical department, as did Taft and Kent.

Rivals of Hotchkiss, the Hill School
boys arrived last week in Pottstown, Penn-
sylvania-Dutch town, where the phrase
“the coffee is all” means “there is no more
coffee.” All the boys were very ex-
cited. Not only were they at school, but
“Jimmy” Wendell was their headmaster.

Tall, athletic James I. Wendell came to
The Hill from Wesleyan in 1913. About
him, when he first strode up the Hill School
hill, was glory. He was then holder of the
intercollegiate record in low hurdles, had
been holder of the world’s record, and point
winner in the 1912 Olympic games.

When urbane Dwight Raymond Meigs
resigned his headmastership in 1922 Mr.
Wendell became treasurer of The Hill

School. Dr. Boyd Edwards, pastor of the
Hillside Presbyterian Church, Orange,
N. J., became headmaster.

Dr. Edwards resigned his headmaster-
ship last winter. His action surprised and
bewildered many younger alumni. Abun-
dant, thereafter, were false rumors. Facts
known were that there had been several
excited meetings of the trustees, that Dr
Edwards had offered his resignation volun-
tarily more than once, that finally the de-
bates ended in amity. To the younger
alumni it was enough to know that Dr.
Edwards was now headmaster of Mercers-
burg, and to remember that The Hill
School is also The Hill School Corpora-
tion, that financial reasons are often in-
scrutable and equally often sound.

This year, therefore, experienced and
popular “Jimmy” Wendell and Mrs. Mar-

THE Baspyons — Clemence
Doubleday, Doran ($5.00).

Babyon Court had been “lived in, lived
in, until it could go on living all by itself.”
So violently did each generation lead its
own life that the Black Babyons lived for-
ever in the whispered tales of villagers and
gypsies, forever in the portraits that glared
fiercely from the dusky walls of the manor
gallery. Tainted with madness, each gen-
eration warped and haunted the next, till
between them their evil eye withered the
fruit of the womb, and ended the line.
Vivid, self-willed, fascinating, they had
persisted through four ages:

Georgian. Hariot Babyon affianced her
flashing black beauty and fabulous for-
tune to her Cousin Jamie. But “she was
a black woman on a red ground...a
sight he should have seen last year, on his
tour, not now, home in safe sunny Eng-
land.” Terrified, he ran off with Menella,
fair-haired handmaiden in “rose linen
sprigged with small corn flowers and car-
nations.” They swore to be true “till death
us do part.” Hariot’s death, by her own
jealous hand, did part them, and haunt
them, till Jamie rode to his own frenzied
death, and thus joined the siren he had
jilted.

Late Georgian. Menella’s children by
Jamie were twins. Ludovic married sen-
sibly enough; but Isabella roved the
woods, or sought out her brother’s foils in
the attic, and spent hours “fencing with
unstable shadows cast by the candles that
she lit in the dusk.” When Ludovic killed
her lover, a beautiful and outcast Jew,
Isabella in turn killed her brother, and
fled with a gypsyman to whom she bore
seven sons and a daughter.

Early Victorian. This daughter had
a daughter—out of wedlock—by a respect-
able village merchant, who kept the child,
gentle Mary Anne, and lavished on her
wealth, breeding, everything but a legiti-
mate name. Queer, handsome Charles,
heir to the Babyons, gave her that, and a
son who adored her.

Edwardian. This son, Nicholas, mar-
ried a spirited girl who brought to Babyon
Court a virile zest for life, but lost it in
the murky shadows of the portrait gallery.
Frightened by the black sneer of Hariot
and Isabella, she rushed from the gallery,
fell stumbling down the broad staircase,
and lost her unborn child. She never had
another, for Nicholas, last of the Babyons,
was old and bitter and resigned, given to
eerie moods.

The chronicle is complete—a tragic tale
of fatality done into poetic prose. Dra-

Farce

SprweR Boy—Carl Van Vechten—Knopf
($2.50).

No place for the man who loves home
and normalcy, Hollywood is grist to the
mill of the farceur. Van Vechten takes a
spineless playwright, lover of normalcy,
and pitches the unwilling wretch into a
kaleidoscope of temperamental screen-
stars, their mamas (chaperones?) and
parasitic Spanish nobles, of shrewd Jewish
producers and bland re-write men. Im-
peria Starling snatches Ambrose Deacon
to her Italio-Spanish-Fudor-Romanesque
villa, gives him a small dinner party for
60 or 80, makes passionate love to him,
orders him to write her a script. He es-
capes to New Mexico. She pursues with
a sheriff. In self-defense he signs a rival
producer’s contract, and marries a sub-
star from Kansas City, to the luxurious
jingle of magnificent jewels, gilt-edged
limousines, plum-colored footmen, in short
—Hollywood. The author handles his glit-
tering incredible material with staccato
brilliance.

Murder

The ghastly corpse sprawls on the floor,
a curious dagger still quivering in its side.
The wall-safe gapes open—gone the twin
heirloom emeralds, gone the royal Russian
ruby. A slip of a girl cowers by the cur-
tain, hand to throat, wide eyes glued to
the horrid spectacle. Thunderous knock-
ing at the door—the police! Quavering
house-keeper opens; gusty storm blows
her grey wisp of hair, flash of lightning
glitters in her twin green (emerald green)
eyes. Blustering sergeant finds cigaret
case initialed J. S. “A plant,” sneers John
Smith, master detective, who has appeared
suddenly in their midst. “Forged!” he
leers again, as the sergeant unearths a
wallet stuffed with bills. A low moan
from the upper hall; the police lumber up
to find another body: the ambassador’s
son. Detective Smith goes to the phone:
“Give me trans-Atlantic, operator—I want
Scotland Yard.” ...

To the general public Scotland Yard
stands for all that is masterly in criminal
detection. So much so, in fact, that the
best-selling detective stories involve Scot-
land Yard; the second best contain the
word murder in the title; and the rest
trail far behind. Such are the findings of
the American “Crime Club,”* a smart
bookselling racket conceived by Nelson
Doubleday, smart son of a smart father.
As an advertisement, he mails to club
members or prospective members a pink
sheet of mystery-story news _luridly
modeled after the gumchewer dailies. But
it is mailed to no gumchewers; rather to
portly smokers of Corona Coronas—bank
presidents, railway magnates, lawyers, Sen-
ators, and even a presidential candidate.
Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt
were notoriously addicted to mystery
stories; so also Dwight Morrow, Stanley
Baldwin, Arthur Hadley, Herbert Hoover.

Of the tremendous output of detective
stories a goodly number attain the high
standard of sportsmanship which gives
the amateur sleuth a pleasantly difficult
chance of spotting the criminal. Follows
a list of recent good mysteries:

Old John Pybus, who had never under-

Pybus basked in the confidences, gave
harsh literary advice, produced just the

THE PRESS

Kobler’s Dreams

The American Weekly is the Sunday
supplement of the 28 Hearst newspapers.
Advertisers are invited to regard it as a
sort of magazine. It has a circulation of
25,000,000 (Saturday Evening Post has
less than 3,000,000). Its advertising rate
is $16,000 per page. Its contents are en-
tirely lurid: huge pictures and meaning-
less text about the scandals of Europe's
lesser nobility, dinosaurs, spooks, freaks
of science, etc. Eleven years ago, Pub-
lisher Hearst, despairing of selling adver-
tising in such a thing, offered to give one
Albert J. Kobler a big commission for ev-
ery advertisement sold. From this com-
mission, Salesman Kobler soon derived a
five and then a six figure income. Last
week, over the signature of Mr. Kobler, a
curious full-page advertisement appeared
in New York newspapers. It read, in part:

“DOWN THE PILOT’S LADDER

“The American Weekly has found its
place and made its case. . . . But neither
my temperament nor career can be satis-
fied with a situation that hereafter de-
mands so little personal action. My ener-
gies and imagination must have fuller
ae And so I have tendered my
resignation, turned the ship back to its
captain. With this statement I climb down
the pilot’s ladder to an argosy of dreams.
I am now the proprietor of a New York
daily. . . . I only bespeak the patience
of friends and public for time to ‘Build
My Rome.’”

And who is Rome-builder Kobler? He
is nearly 52 years old and has never been
a newspaper reporter. He dresses smartly,
carries a malacca stick, and speaks in a
Milt Gross accent. He lives in one of the
largest apartments on Park Avenue, Man-
hattan. Once, his charming wife ex-
pressed a fancy for square jewels; he
bought for her an emerald both square and
huge. Typical of him is the fact that when
he first asked Mr. Hearst for the American
Weekly advertising job he pulled out a
fist-full of advertising contracts already
signed and at a higher rate. He got the
job. He is also the man who nourished the
straw hat industry. He suggested (and car-
ried on a campaign through the Hearst
papers) that men begin wearing straw hats
15 days earlier in the season. So success-
ful was he that the present U. S. consump-
tion of straw hats per year per adult male
is two, as compared with the pre-Kobler
era of one and a half.

Mr. Kobler’s new “argosy of dreams”
is the New York Daily Mirror. This was
the Hearst tabloid, although it has been
temporarily “owned” by U. S. Ambassa-
dor to Peru Alexander Pollock Moore.

The circulation of the Mirror is some
400.000. Recently it has been the least
sensational of the three New York tab-
loids. Mr. Kobler plans no immediate
editorial changes. Walter Howey will con-
tinue as editor.

that is a smart, scheming, successful har-
lot. Mae West, buxom actress, is chiefly

responsible for making this meaning a
household word. Her play, Diamond Lil,
in which she performs the leading role of
a dive-keeper’s mistress, has been a smash-
hit on Broadway since early spring.

The Democratic Party, as exemplified
by its Presidential Nominee Alfred Eman-
uel Smith, has been christened “Diamond
Lil” by the New York American (Hearst
daily). A series of political cartoons+ de-
picts her as part donkey, part woman,
with big pearls around her neck, with
tight-fitting, scanty black dress. She usu-
ally goes riding in an automobile with a
tiger flunky and a chauffeur labelled RAS-
KOB. Some days ago, Diamond Lil had
an accident, an explosion caused by the
Maine election. Her automobile was
blown to smithereens. The story beneath
the cartoon told how:

“Diamond Lil, transmogrified** Demo-
cratic donkey, thanks Providence that she
didn’t lose her pearls, although she did lose
the Maine election.

“She declines to talk for publication be-
yond the statement, ‘That was no way to
treat a lady,’ and ‘Thank heaven, the jug
wasn’t broken.’

“Mr. Raskob, Diamond Lil’s new
chauffeur, also declined to be interviewed.
Nurses at the hospital, where he lay for
awhile unconscious, say that he repeated
over and over, “Take me back to General
Motors,’ whatever he may have meant by
that.”

Thus, the Hearst “whispering cam-
paign’’—whispers which shout, cartoons
which anybody can understand—implying
that Mr. Smith’s Democratic Party is the
party of notorious women, jugs of liquor,
money for profane pearls, with Mr. Ras-
kob as chief sugar-daddy.

Mr. Hearst has a good memory. He
knows that Mr. Smith once killed his
political ambitions in New York State.

*As impersonated by Actress Mae West.

tThese cartoons are the work of two Hearst
aces: Arthur Brisbane furnishes the ideas; T. E.
(“Ton”) Powers does the drawing. Some of the

cartoons show “Diamond Lil” leading a little
animal, part dog, part man, labeled GLoom.

**\ word, of humorous coinage, meaning
changed to a different shape.

The Hearst press has made similar at-
tacks on the Smith integrity before now
and Governor Smith once flayed Publisher
Hearst as follows: “He has not got a drop
of good, clean, pure, red blood in his whole
body. And I know the color of his liver,

and it is whiter, if that could be, than the

driven snow. ... That fellow nearly
murdered my mother. ... Foul, dirty
pen... slimy ink. . . . Greatest living

enemy of the people whose cause he pre-
tends to espouse. . . .”

: atte ama
Interview

“T think I understand more clearly than
you imagine what you mean. Not long ago
I visited an exhibition of modern pictures
at Pittsburgh. Almost every European
nation was represented. As I looked at
those pictures I felt I could see through
them into the minds of the nations which
had created them.

“I could see the torment out of which
they had been born. If the nation’s psy-
chology was still diseased so was its art.
The traces of neurosis were unmistakable.
If, on the other hand, the nation was on
the road to recovery, if its people were
rediscovering the happiness which they
had lost, the story was told in the picture,
too.”

Who said this? One guess might be Be-
haviorist John Broadus Watson, or some
other man who likes the sound of the
words “Neurosis” and “If.”

Who would be the last person in the
world to say this? One guess might be
President Calvin Coolidge, or some other
man who is given to few words and less
speculation, and who professes an earnest
belief in Divine Providence.

And yet, the above quotation was last
week printed as coming word for word
from the mouth of President Calvin Cool-
idge. Credit for this scoop goes to the
London Sketch and to a smart, egotistical
young man named Beverley Nichols, who
led British readers to believe that Presi-
dent Coolidge had spoken those very
words. Perhaps Mr. Nichols, careless in
the matter of quotation marks, felt that
what the President actually said about art
required an Oxonian polish. In any case,
this unparalleled abuse of an interviewer’s
privilege did not prevent Doubleday Doran
& Co. from inviting Mr.° Nichols to edit
their American Sketch (society chit-chat).
New here, Mr. Nichols has doubtless been
informed that it is not customary in the
U. S. to exploit the President.

White Teeth Deceive

Although their teeth may be flash-

forty and thousands younger pay
heavy toll to Pyorrhea. This dis-
ease of neglect attacks the gums.

So as a matter of safety use the
dentifrice that cleans teeth white
and at the same time helps to firm
gums—Forhan’s for the Gums.

If used regularly and in time this
dentifrice keeps gums alive and
healthy. As you know, Pyorrhea
seldom attacks healthy gums. See
your dentist every six months and
start using Forhan’s for the Gums
morning and night. Get a tube from

Sons

Their fathers and mothers having made
news before them, the following sons made
the following news last week:

William Block, 12, son of Publisher
and Good Friend Paul Block, gave all his
personal savings, $2,365, to the presi-
dential campaign fund of Alfred Emanuel
Smith. Said he: “My father is an inde-
pendent in politics, but I’m a Democrat.”

William Randolph Hearst Jr., 20,
returned from his honeymoon, began work
on his father’s favorite newspaper, the
New York American, as a cub reporter.
Said he: “This is no stunt.”

Sir Henry Dickens, 79, only living son
of Novelist Charles Dickens, flayed in
London one Carl E. Bechofer-Roberts
who had written a novel, Ephesian, defam-
ing his father. Said he: “The book is so
utterly unworthy of the slightest consider-
ation .. . that I must decline to serve
the author’s purpose by adding to its pub-
licity. . . . If any one had dared to pub-
lish a book like this 58 years ago when my
father died, hundreds of people would
have arisen to give it the lie.”

Theodore Roosevelt 3rd, 13, sent $10
and the following letter to Polar Pilgrim
Richard Evelyn Byrd:

“Dear Commander Byrd: A little
while ago I asked mother if ten dollars
would be enough to come in handy if
sent to you, and she said ‘yes.’ There-
fore I decided to send you ten dollars

which I earned this Summer by paint-
ing the piazza roof, washing the muresco
off the walls and ceiling of the bath-
room, weeding the garden and various
other similar jobs. I thought you might
be able to buy some extra things.
“Much love and more luck,
“TEDDY ROOSEVELT 34d.”

Osborne Wood, son of the late Maj.

Gen. Leonard Wood, once made and lost
a tidy fortune in Wall Street, has recently
been working in an iron mine near Pecos,
N. Mex. Last week he quit when a fellow
workman was killed. Said he: “I have
found all iron ore mines I have visited in
New Mexico unsafe. There is a law reg-
ulating coal mine safety, but none relating
to iron ore mines. I am going to do every-
thing possible to get proper legislative
measures in New Mexico to compel mine
owners to safeguard employes.”

William H. Vanderbilt is rather more
than likely to be nominated and elected
state senator in Rhode Island. The Re-
publican incumbent withdrew and agreed
to support Mr. Vanderbilt of Newport.

John Davison Rockefeller III, 22,
was elected to the board of directors of a
Negro bank (see p. 32).

John Coolidge, 22, finished the first
week of his business career as file-and-
claim-clerk in the New Haven offices (ugly
yellow brick building) of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad; salary,
$30 a week; hours, 8:30 a. m. to 5:30
p. m. Said he: “I like it.”

Samuel Carnes Collier, 16, son of
Capitalist Barron Collier, completed last
week his third season as designer-proprie-
tor-manager of the Overlook Theatre, at
Pocantico Hills, N. Y.* Built on his
father’s estate, the theatre is architectur-
ally arresting, mechanically capable of
showing both vaudeville and cinema to an
audience of 66. The vaudeville includes
magic (“Professor Alonzo, Swindler’”’) and
skits (“The Man Who Was Legally
Right”). The performers are young
friends of Son Collier; they give fictitious
names in the programs. Said Son Collier:
“T don’t act unless I have to. I have
enough to do.” After locking the door of
his theatre, he returned to his schooling
at St. Paul’s, Concord, N. H.

Prince Nobuhito Takamatsu, 23, son
of the late Emperor of Japan, Yoshihito,
and brother of the present Emperor,
Hirohito, arrived at Honolulu with dirty
hands, dirty face, dirty clothes. He ex-
plained to the reception committee that he
had been directing the coaling of the cruiser
Yakumo; asked that no photographs be
taken. Then said he: “Honolulu may be
called a place where the hands of peace,
stretched by Japan and the U. S., grasp
each other.”

Drs. William James and Charles
Horace Mayo, surgeons, dedicated their
newest “mouse trap,” a 19 story clinic
building at Rochester, Minn., with a great
ringing of a twenty-bell carillon hung in
the tower. Their father, Dr. William Wor-
rell Mayo, had settled in Rochester 65
years ago. When his sons hesitated in
opening practice at the isolated small town,
he persuaded them with Emerson’s: “If

.. 246 papers
ima bank where
IS could do all the work

MOST successful business executives take a just
pride in their ability to apply man-power effec-
tively and economically. Yet often these same men

will keep an army of papers on the payroll, doing
the work that one-tenth of the number—chosen

with a genuine understanding of requirements

and standards—would accomplish with greater
efficiency.

A few months ago, the Paper Users’ Standardiza-
tion Bureau was asked to study the papers used by
one of the greatest banks in the Middle West. The
letterheads, business forms and records of this
company were then on 246 different bonds, ledgers
and index bristols, some suitable and some entirely
unsuitable for their purpose.

As in many other offices, this multiplicity of
papers was due, not to any intention on the part
of those responsible, but to lack of system in paper
buying.

When a new form was ordered, the choice of the
paper to be used was made more or less at random,
governed by no definite specifications. As a result
the bank was purchasing a variety of papers in
insignificant quantities and paying a premium for
every pound bought.

Analyzing the uses and purposes of all the busi-
ness forms employed by this bank, the Paper Users’
Standardization Bureau set correct paper standards
for every one. And the total number of different
papers required — including all the
needed bonds, ledgers and index bristols
—was eighteen.

This book, “Making Paper
Pay Its Way,”
paper standardization as
it applies to an individual
business, and records the
results achieved in a num-
ber of large American
companies. Upon request
we shall be glad ta send
a copy to any interested
business executive.

This tremendous reduction in brands and grades
has now made it possible to buy these papers in
case lots instead of reams and broken reams, and
thereby save anywhere from 114 to 514 cents per
pound. And most important of all, every paper is
absolutely right for the work it has to perform.

Several hundred firms, including some of the
largest corporations in America, have gained in effi-
ciency through having their business forms sur-
veyed by the Paper Users’ Standardization Bureau.

This confidential service
is yours on request

The service of the Bureau is to make a thorough
quality and utility analysis of the paper used for
every form you employ. This work is done in one
of the most complete paper laboratories in the
world. When it is finished you have a compre-
hensive report which establishes quality standards,
fixes price limitations, suggests economies and
simplifies buying procedure. Because of the scope
of this service, it can be rendered only to a limited
number of corporations this year.

It is made without charge and you are placed
under no obligation of any sort.
